Hello GreenYes, I do not know about the emissions from burning C&D Waste, however, I do know that lead is still being used in some construction paints, to my surprise. I was researching yellow traffic paint and found a Mfgr that produces a "lead free" yellow and a "leaded" yellow traffic paint. If anyone is curious, please contact me for Mfgr. Thus lead could also being used in other new construction products as well such as plastics (frames, flooring, etc...) and wiring. And of course, lead was used in many building materials that are in existing buildings. Cadmium in C&D Waste should also be investigated. See http://www.floridacenter.org/publications/lead_cad_merc_94-2.pdf http://europa.eu.int/comm/environment/waste/pvc/comments_da.pdf Have a great day!
