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.
