CCA, or chromated copper arsenic, is a chemical that is often used to treat wood. It functions as a pesticide and also protects the wood from fungus and mold. Pressure-treated wood is used in decks, playground structures, fences, and other structures. After 2003 CCA will no longer be allowed to be used to treat wood. This is because of concerns over the possible consequences of exposure to CCA by people who work with or use pressure-treated wood. CCA may also leach into ground water, where it can harm people. If you or a loved one has suffered from arsenic poisoning or another health consequence of exposure to the CCA in pressure-treated wood, we can help. Please contact our firm today.
