Hint: it does. https://www.chemistryworld.com/news/why-use-lead-in-paint/3004319.article https://www.chemistryworld.com/news/why-use-lead-in-paint/30... Or CFCs over replacement fluoropolymers? Replacements which, circling back to the OP, may be decomposing into persistent organic chemicals. https://cen.acs.org/environment/persistent-pollutants/CFC-replacements-source-persistent-organic/98/web/2020/05 https://cen.acs.org/environment/persistent-pollutants/CFC-re...
