Q.
Is treated
timber harmful to the environment?
A.
No. The US
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) conducted an extensive
eight-year study where it determined that the benefits of
preservative-treated timber outweighed any potential risks.
Responsible questions by concerned individuals,
government officials, and legitimate scientists have
resulted in ongoing research programs and study of treated
wood products. These studies have produced - and continue to
produce - data that support the safety of
preservative-treated products.
