Recently I purchased a dev board with a note that says: WARNING This product may contain a chemical known to the state of California to cause CANCER, or Birth Defect, or other Reproductive Harm.

Reading several articles about it, I know this found everywhere in California. But we I have not seen it at all before in Australia.

I asked the Intel staff in the above post, what my questions are. It would be at least good to know what chemical it is, and know a bit more, so to reduce any possible risk.

I want to know if I should wash my hands each time after touching the board or not. Or should I have it in a well-ventilated chamber so it does not generate harmful chemical fumes, etc.
