[DCRM-L] Poison books

[Julie Moore]

Samantha,
Thank you so much for this amazing resource. We have already compared our
collection to the arsenic list, and we found a few of those titles in our
own collection.
Do you (or does anyone) know if there is a similar list of the Lead or
Chromium books?
We're playing catch-up here.

All the best,
Julie Moore
Fresno State
