My mother-earth sister, who is into all things green and
environmentally
conscious, recently commented that I should not compost news print
and other
printed paper, because of the lead in the ink.

What lead?

I thought the problem is not the printing ink/toner, but, rather, the
(chlorine?) bleach used to make the paper white? Book publishers
(especially US) also often identify the paper used as being 'acid-free',
but what about other paper?
