Until I read this I didn't realise that CCA was still legal in the US - hasn't been legal this side of the pond for most purposes since 2003. Only place you ever see it now is telephone poles. Copper azole mostly took over here initially but I've been seeing the market move to copper particulate recently. This seems to me to be the best combination of effectiveness and safety around at the moment
