Request for research tips about toxins in car parts

Hi all,

I'm currently doing research for the centrefold page of the upcoming issue
of Carbusters magazine. I wish to write summaries of the hazardous metals
and chemicals contained in various car parts(interior plastics, tires,
batteries, etc) or the dangers in their disposal/incineration, summing up
the environmental evils of cars before or after the emissions of petrol are
factored. But as much of this is tightly withheld industry information I'm
having difficulties digging up the facts and figures I was hoping for. I
would really appreciate any links to reports, studies or websites that some
of you might know of that could help me out.

Cheers,

Chris Coleman
