My wife sent me this article and after reading it through, I don't know if it is a true study or an overblown scare tactic from health freaks.
I have never heard of this before that the drive propellant in the airbags would be so toxic (in solid state) that some milligrams could kill you and that each car might contain several hundreds of grams of it.
I also find it odd that it isn't any regulations in how to scrap airbags in junk cars.
I thought it was already regulated like batteries and fluids before the car goes through the shredder.
Maybe someone out there knows more about the characteristics of that chemical and how dangerous (or not) it really is.
