Guest guest Posted August 16, 2000 Report Share Posted August 16, 2000 << Some treated wood used in decks, playgrounds and fencing still contains arsenic. >> Actually it was my understanding that almost all of it does. Anything with a slightly greenish tinge or that is marked with a little tag that says " CCA " when it comes from the hardware store or lumber yard.
