Yes.

Electronic parts on PCB generally contain lead and other sulfides. In the past decades, many manufacturers have said that they will not use electronic components containing lead, but it is not credible and possible. Lead is an important material in electronic components. It is practical to reduce lead but impossible to eliminate it.
