You have any documentation/citation for that claim? I'd be real
surprised to hear of any that were specifically CCA-caused that wouldn't
have also occurred w/ non-CCA material from CO, for example.


CCA contains arsenic. Burning CCA creates trace quantities
of AsH3 (Arsine). Arsine is rather hideously toxic.
