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. "
