Umm... Lead, the heavy metal, is a common additive in PVC -- makes it stronger, more durable, in general. I don't remember if they use it for PVC pipes but not sure you want to have that shit leaching in a pool.

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that:

A: the OP isn't using his pool as his drinking water source
B: the OP isn't using enough PVC in a PONG TABLE to account for much, if any leaching


Also, this is important:
the lead doesn't leach out of the PVC itself, but can change the pH of the water to encourage leaching from the lead containing brass fittings that are in most faucets. Since the OP is just using PVC, and water isn't flowing through it and a connected brass fitting, your concern is misguided and ill-informed.

This is a fun read too: http://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/es702483d

"For example, based on the analysis presented in
this paper, first draw lead leaching in systems using
chloramine can be expected to be much worse in some new
homes plumbed completely with PVC or plastic pipe, rather
than with copper. This is because the lowerpHlevels resulting
from enhanced nitrifier colonization of the PVC pipe systems
might adversely impact lead and copper leaching from brass
used in consumer faucets,whencompared with lead leaching
in identical new homes plumbed with copper pipe."
