Why not with the CRTs is that the tubes should be more carefully disposed of and mixing them with... everything else makes that harder.
Am hopefully believing that the actual CRTs *have* been disposed of and we are seeing merely the appliance shells.

TBH pretty much all CRTs had implosion protection by the 1970s, although correct disposal remains a problem - already a whole load have ended up in landfills across the USA since the 2000s and even here in Europe the "eco-friendly" places often quietly sent them to poorer countries...

looks like the leaded glass was recycled into more leaded glass (more CRTs) until suddenly the market collapsed
I guess we don't want leaded glass to drink out of anymore, either. Uh, radiation-sheilding windows? Is it good for anything that's worth the risk? Is the glass okay encapsulation of the lead if it gets sintered into big glassy blocks, or will the lead leach?
argh
