The new issue of In These Times has a real interesting article on the problems of pressure treated lumber---it turns out that much of the pressure treated lumber sold contains arsenic in it as a perservative.

Anyone familiar with this? Sincerely, Tom -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <../attachments/19980901/4ff684cf/attachment.htm>
