I'd say the industry is probably trending towards safer processes, maybe not out of express concern for the workers, but because the newer processes require a lot more precision and are even more sensitive to impurities

@andersjjensen I worked at a place recycling metal alloys and other junk that they had to buy especially solder covered nickel wire scrap, a lot of stuff still had traces of lead leftover in it, though without chemically testing it I could never be certain if that was the spectro+xrf picking up lead or just picking up something bleeding over into lead's spectrum. Got out of that job partly because I was worried about my health, plus found a job closer to home

that was my feeling as well, from what I've read most of the newer processes just use ultra pure water exactly because the process is so sensitive to anything. He's not wrong that its an extremely closed up industry, but that's also how nearly every industry that uses chemicals works
