Well, it is pressure-saturated with arsenic.

Eliminate arsenic from your environment and diet and you'll die. The human body requires small amounts of arsenic.

It's another bonehead study with fictionalized results - they have got to stop using mice and rats that are genetically predisposed to cancer for these dumb**s studies.

Remember the cardinal rule of toxicology:
There is no such thing as a toxic substance - there is only a toxic dose.

"Well, it is pressure-saturated with arsenic."

Yep, supposed to keep the bugs and mold from eating the wood. The bugs and mold around my house don't seem to notice though. They must like arsenic.

Might be a little worried if I had a decking business,,, on the other hand, I haven't heard of people who install this stuff when it is fresh from the factory getting more cancer than other people.

I suspect the safety Nazis are simply trying to make life more expensive as usual. If they really wanted to save lives they would outlaw motor vehicles. Cars kill hundreds of thousands more people each year than pressure treated wood.

They will probably be next.
