If this plastic lumber has vinyl products (pvc) in it and it gets heated
beyond a specific temperature range (ie if in a sunny location) it will
outgas carcinogenic substances. <

Since the plastic has been UV exposed for a while in its current use, odds
are it's outgassed a bunch already, making it somewhat inert, but who knows
for sure. The outgassing follows a curve that diminishes with time.
What's plastic lumber anyhow?
