What are you saying? That we can't talk about any environmental issues because we don't list every single environmental issue we're aware of? I'm sure everyone

I'm sure everyone discussing this article is aware that neodymium processing is very hazardous. But right now we're learning that "simple" oil & gas extraction is also extremely hazardous, that the hazards are completely ignored, that non-employees of the extraction companies are deeply affected by the hazardous waste, that the extraction companies themselves work very hard to make it appear safe when in reality it can make you very sick, and generally that oil & gas extraction companies do not care at all about the treatment of these people on whom they are dumping these chemicals.
But by all means, let's also talk about neodymium production in China to distract ourselves from what's going on in our own back yards.
