Many of the comments, as you noted, are opinions, and there are a number of inaccuracate and misleading statements; nothing is newer than 1994. Is there some way that other sources could be added? I am in the treated wood industry, so I have a pro-treatment bias, but there have been recent noteworthy discussions on CCA-treated wood on the Greenbuilding list (not all favorable) and the Gardens list (gardens@lsv.uky.edu). I think the most reliable information is available from our industry by visiting www.awpi.org or the Hickson site at www.hickson.com. If people are looking for factual information on this issue, these web sites would be useful. Thanks.
