The Nintendo Wii, Microsoft’s XBox 360, and the Sony Playstation 3 all contain too much bromine, according to environmental watchdog group Greenpeace.
Bromide is classified by Greenpeace as a chemical that’s hazardous to the environment,and the PS3 had the highest levels of it.
The XBox and PS3 also had beryllium-containing alloys, which Greenpeace found worrisome. All three video game companies were urged to phase out dangerous chemicals from their products.
