Is PCB poisonous?

We are a green energy brand which sells solar water heater. All of our products are almost use PCB. And we want to know whether it is poisonous to human and environment?

Yes.

Electronic parts on PCB generally contain lead and other sulfides. In the past decades, many manufacturers have said that they will not use electronic components containing lead, but it is not credible and possible. Lead is an important material in electronic components. It is practical to reduce lead but impossible to eliminate it.

How should I handle wet PCBs?

A batch of PCB got wet in warehouse due to roof linking. Too terrible to shoulder the lost. How can I do to rescue these wet PCBs? Or to minimize the damage?

What’s the minimum distance from TQFP to chip cap on PCB assembly?

I want to put decoupling caps (0603) as close as possible to TQFP-48-7×7. So PCB/assembly wise how close I can put them (pad to pad, component to component)?
Does the ‘court yard’ need to be exactly square, or is it ok to place mentioned caps closer to TQFP in the corners where the TQFP pins leave kind of ‘free space’?
