How much lead in a CRT?

I wager that every single discarded CRT does get totally crushed to bits whether in the hopper of the sanitation truck or at the landfill. It is a problem, but what can really be done? Very widespread issue (groundwater contamination)

Frit is a new term to me. Interesting site.

Lead pipes are being phased out in new buildings and in renovation work.

I don't think you can buy paint with lead in it unless you are building
ships.

The reduction of lead is consumer electronics is aimed at eliminating
lead from the waste that gets incinerated.

If you can gather CRTs separately, I trust that the lead can be extracted
rather than being mixed with groundwater. Is it being done anywhere, that's
another question...
