[SOLVED] How do I know if my components contain lead?

[Matt251hew03]

I just got my new graphics card in and I saw that it has a warning about lead on it. How do I know if any of my other components such as my Odense2-K motherboard or my ram sticks contain lead

Where did you see this warning?
California Prop 65? That 'warning' exists on pretty much everything.

There may or may not be "lead" in there. Key word "may".

This is only a hazard if you decide to eat those components.

You don't. Unless there is a sticker on them. "ROHS" is the most common lead free designation -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restriction_of_Hazardous_Substances_Directive

So what should I do to protect myself when building my pc

So what should I do about my current components and how do I avoid getting cancer or posing if from the lead or other things?

Do the same as everyone else. Don't mistake your sticks of RAM for sticks of chewing gum.

Im sorry you have to ingest lead for it to be harmful not touch it

You could heat them up to 327.5 C if anything melts it is lead.

You could always just wear gloves and a mask (the latter should be around anyway these days). But unless you start soldering the parts with leaded solder without ventilation, all you need to do is maybe wash your hands.
