Re: [A/S] Pressure Treated Wood
Pressure treated CCA is Copper something Arsenic. In public buidlings
railings of it must be sealed so people can't touch it. Sawing it
requires precautions. I don't know about outgassing, but some tests on
soil migration found some, a "negligable"amount. I don't entirely trust
tests that might have been paid for by the plywood or chemical
industries. some gardeners won't use it near vegetable crops.
Bottom line: if it will kill the micro and not so micro organisms that
cause wet wood to rot, it might not be the best thing to live in a
trailer with. Burning it is especially dangerous.
Anyone else ?
