Well, if you do a Google search on treated lumber or arsenic, bet
you'll come up with so many hits you can't read them all.  I think
I've read that arsenic is something that's present in soil as a part
of the natural environment but can't quote chapter and verse on
it....like it's naturally occurring; not added by human activity.
