I'm doing some research on the subject of pressure treated (CCA and it's relatives) lumber and it's use in wetlands and gardens. I know the
formulation and methods for production have changed. I also know of plenty of anecdotal and hear say 'research'. What I'm looking for though is science. If you have any links or information on the current state of this debate please let me know...on list if you think others may be interested, off list to limit clutter. Thanks

It is currently outlawed in Vermont. US retail sales of it (non-industrial)
will be phased out in the near future. Many excellent safe alternatives are now available and R&D is ongoing for products that will perform close to CCA, i.e. ground contact. Prices on these products are expected to come down as availability across the US is increased.
