Factory conditions, aluminum dust
I love my Apple stuff, but the spate of news regarding worker safety
at Foxconn has been disturbing. Actually, the main issue I worry
about is the occupational hazard of producing aluminum based products,
since there seems to be hazards in breathing aluminum dust that comes
from polishing. I'm sure you've heard of the reports:

Given the possible link of aluminum and Alzheimer's, what do you think
can really be done by Apple and Foxconn to ensure safer working
conditions?
