The toxicity issues of the composite structure is much overblown, just like metal aircraft the vast majority of the toxic substances will come from the internal trim, fixtures and fittings.

There is more in the way of toxic substances but in percentage terms of the total clear up I would guess at IRO 10% more than a metal aircraft.......... Hardly a big issue !
