Can you use PVC conduit underground?
PVC conduit is recommended for underground installations. Just remember that a ground wire equal to the maximum load current of the device connected at the other end has to be installed. This ground wire is not counted in conduit fill calculations. It has to have a green insulation in colour and be of a continuous length.

How much lead is in PVC electrical wire insulation and how much exposure to the skin would it take to be toxic?
There is no lead in PVC. It's plastic made from chlorine. There actually IS lead in PVC, or tin, or some other metal salt. It's a stabilizer. If they don't put a stabilizer in PVC, it eventually disintegrates. As to how much lead there is in it...who's to say? A little goes a very long way here. I think it would take a great deal of it to be toxic through the skin...if your kid sucked on the insulation that would be a different story, but children shouldn't gnaw electric wiring in the first place.

Can PVC be used to exhaust hot air from electric clothes dryers?
I will sum it up in two words: Absolutely not! The reason is that PVC gives-off deadly chlorine gas when heated beyond its manufacturer's maximum recommended temperature. Rather, you need a flexible dryer vent hose. They are readily available at most home improvement centers.
