As I understand it, the concern is less about the material when used as a roadway and more about what happens after the road is abandoned. When the road is abandoned that material becomes a soil contaminant that could potentially wind up in someone's back yard or foundation.
It's a long-term consideration which may or may not result in actual harm. The concern today is that this consideration is being ignored by using harmless-sounding words like feasibility study and demonstration project.
