display screens and the electrical or electronics components must not
contain any cadmium.

damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses.

electronics components associated with the display unit.
CFCs (freons)

CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the
stratosphere, causing increased reception on Earth of ultraviolet light
with consequent increased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma).
The relevant TCO' 99 requirement; Neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be
used during the manufacturing and assembly of the product or its
packaging.
