Chrome plating is an essential part of manufacturing. Without the
benefits of chrome plating and many other "toxic" surface coatings
there are a multitude of products whose life would be significantly
reduced. The impact of which would have an unmeasurable effect on
the environment. The production of raw materials used in the
manufacturing of everyday items and the tooling used to make these
items would increase dramatically. The idea of banning chrome
plating to improve on air quality or for other environmental
reasons is completely backwards. Before making such drastic
decisions we should look at the direct and indirect consequences
they will have. There are far too many industries that rely on
surface coatings like chrome plating.
