Metals in PVC
Original poster: StephenTetorka@xxxxxx
"Metals cannot be destroyed by incineration but are released entirely
into the environment, via air emissions or ash residues. Trash
incinerators are a dominant source of lead and cadmium pollution, and
PVC contributes a significant amount of these metals - an estimated
45,000 tons of lead each year -- to incinerators. "
