I'll disagree...inasmuch as the "old" treated lumber was used for years
without any adverse health effects that I have ever seen documented, it

only
lost favor because of our EPA stepping in with their typical
"chicken-little" thing...check with the southern yellow-pine association
web-site if you want more info on the debate...



Maybe you need to look harder. The Washington Post cited a study in which
children who frequently played on PT decks, etc, had a many times higher
incidence of childhood leukemia and other types of cancers.

You'll also find the the EPA under Bush has played quite a few games with
the wording of regulations, and have eviscerated a lot of the teeth in regs.
