National Lead Free Wheel Weight Initiative (NLFWWI) URL: http://www.epa.gov/waste/hazard/wastemin/nlfwwi.htm Description: This initiative "encourages the transition from the use of lead for wheel weights to lead-free alternatives. Wheel weights are clipped to the rims of every automobile wheel in the United States in order to balance the tires. These weights often come loose and fall off," ending up in waterways or landfills. Provides quick facts and reasons for transitioning to lead-free wheel weights (such as reducing toxic lead exposure). From the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
