I own at least 8 NiCd batteries and I've never had a single one cause harm to me or the environment. Are you talking about when they are disposed of? If so, what can 1100 little batterypacks, that are each at a minimum of a few miles apart, do to a whole world of an environment? If we are talking about ALL NiCd batteries (not just in FIRST), then you may have a point if there are studies to back it up.
