Apple bans toxic chemicals from manufacturing

Apple has banned two toxic chemicals - benzene and n-hexane - from the manufacturing process of its computers and other products.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney)

Lisa Jackson, vice president of environmental initiatives at Apple (AAPL, Tech30), says the computer company will prohibit the use of benzene and n-hexane in the assembly of its electronics.

Jackson said the company had recently "received some questions" about whether chemicals were being used at Apple. So she dispatched investigators into Apple's 22 factories and "found no evidence of workers' health being put at risk."

She said the company's restrictions on unsafe chemicals have been updated to make sure the two chemicals are not used in the manufacturing process.

In its effort towards the use of green materials, Apple previously developed power cords without including PVC, displays without mercury and enclosures without brominated flame retardants.
