Default Query, pre-treated lumber?

On 5/25/2008 12:02 PM Phisherman spake thus:

PT can be used inside, but should be limited to insect damage-prone
areas, concrete floor, or where wood is direct contact with the ground
or moisture. PT wood is best not used where food or children may
have contact. I certainly would not use pressure-treated wood to
build a picnic table, but garage utility shelves are okay. Protect
your lungs when cutting/sanding.


What exactly are the chemicals used to make pressure-treated lumber?
