Default anything to worry about when using pvc tubes, pvc glue, and painting a bottle?

is there anything to worry about when using construction-grade pvc tubes, pvc glue, and painting a bottle?

commercial-grade plastic/pvc normally contains lead, which is poisonous, and paint and glue all contain very harsh chemical substances. would that affect plant growth in any way?

thanks for any insight that you may provide.

You paint the outside of the bottles not the inside where the solution is.
And modern PVC pipe is safe and used in all commercial growing systems.
