I think at least in the USA there was some sampling of water from many actual working pvc pipelines that took place back in the early 1990’s, but I am not sure what if any comparable testing of actual water from pipelines (for example for the aforementioned substance) is going on today.
Other than that, there is also what appears to be a substantial contemporary debate on various “life cycle” issues concerning this piping, that appears to have quite powerful chemical and some trade industries etc. forces opposing various environmental and other groups -- e.g. see different takes on these issues as discussed in the presentations at ht
I'm sure you could now independently find a great deal more information pro and con on these issues with a few keyword and a good search engine.
