This raises my curiosity about the source for lead in Chinese
manufactured toys / paints.
Where does that lead come from?

Hi Ned,
In spite of the English claiming "green" credentials, lead in it's
solid form can be bought at any home supply store.
It is used in the sheeting form as flashing for tile roofs, and on
older structures, such as churches, for the entire roof.
Lot's of lead floating around, I think TEL is just a specialized
version that happens to be an octane booster, as Innospec labels it
on their web site.
