to ensure these products meet the safety requirements in
your area.”

CCA – The Facts

So how much arsenic is around?

In detailed work performed in the USA on behalf of the EPA (their regulatory body) it was shown that
the amount of arsenic in a leached solution from treated timber was in the region of 0.001 parts per
million or less. Compare this with the natural arsenic content of foods such as:

• Rice 0.40 ppm

• Potatoes 0.63 ppm
• Mushrooms 0.66 ppm
• Tomatoes 1.49 ppm
• Shrimps 19.90 ppm

Source: Contact - the TPAA Newsletter, 2nd August Issue 2003

1490 times more arsenic in a tomato? That’ll be the last toasted sandwich you eat.

What is Arsenic?

Arsenic occurs naturally in sedimentary and hard rock aquifers, which are in many developing
countries used as source of drinking water. Additionally natural arsenic is often found in
thermal and mineral waters, which reach the Earths surface either by natural discharge in
springs or by geothermal exploitation.

Symbol: As
Atomic number: 33
Atomic weight: 74.922
Metalloid element of group 15. There are three allotropes, yellow, black,
and grey. Reacts with halogens, concentrated oxidizing acids and hot
alkalis. Albertus Magnus is believed to have been the first to isolate the
element in 1250.

What is chromated copper arsenate?

Chromated copper arsenate or CCA, is a chemical preservative that is used to protect wood
from being destroyed by microbes, termites, or other wood-boring insects. CCA contains forms
of the chemicals chromium, copper, and arsenic. CCA is largely used to pressure treat lumber
intended for outdoor uses such as home, school, and community playgrounds; decks; and
landscape timbers. CCA-treated lumber is also used in building structures.

The treatment process of pine involves placing the timber inside a pressurised tank. The CCA
solution is then forced directly into the cell structure of the timber. The solution is made up of
approximately 90% water. Arsenic only makes up about 3.3%

SAFETY AND CCA TREATED TIMBER

Timber treated with copper-chromium-arsenic (CCA) preservatives is resistant to fungal decay and insect attack.
This resistance to fungi and insects allows treated timber to be used in a wide variety of end uses that are not suitable
for untreated timber.

Long-term protection of timber, using CCA preservatives, can only be achieved by commercial timber treatment
plants, using vacuum pressure equipment.

Typical uses of CCA-treated timber are seen in the familiar green coloured timber of playground equipment,
landscaping timbers, outdoor furniture, decking and swimming pool surrounds.

Timber preservatives have been safely used for more than 30 years in Australia. However, questions are sometimes
asked about the safety of CCA-treated timber, especially because of the presence of arsenic.

How safe are children when playing on CCA-treated playground equipment? How safe are livestock in paddocks
fenced with treated fenceposts? How safe are workers continually handling treated timber?

Many repots have been written overseas and in Australia during the past ;40 years from medical, in-service and
experimental studies on CCA-treated timber. All have shown that the treated timber does not pose a hazard to
humans or livestock. The reason for this is that the copper, chrome and arsenic components of CCA preservatives
react chemically with the timber, making them virtually insoluble.

Concern has been expressed that continual contact with CCA-treated timber surfaces may result in arsenic being
rubbed off onto the body. Experiments involving washing and gentle scrubbing of the surface of treated timber
showed that any health hazard from residues scrubbed from the surface was very low. The levels of arsenic
encountered were less than eaten (approximately 1 mg) in a daily diet containing salt, milk, drinking water, meat and
vegetables. An average meal of seafood may result in a daily uptake of 4-5 mg of arsenic. In New Zealand, sheep
were fed with fodder containing CCA-treated timber for more than 25 days, with no adverse effects. It has been
estimated that a child would need to eat at least 10 cubic centimetres of treated wood at one time to achieve a toxic
dose of arsenic.

To be absolutely sure that no preservative deposits are present on CCA-treated timber surfaces, it is recommended
that freshly treated timber be left for six weeks and then thoroughly hosed down before use. Leaving the timber
stand for six weeks gives ample time to ensure that the treatment chemicals are fixed into the wood in their insoluble
form. Tests have shown that this post-treatment handling leaves the timber completely safe.

CCA-treated timber poses no hazard to workers who are continually handling it, providing normal precautions are
taken such as wearing gloves, and washing hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking.

Precautions should also be taken when sanding CCA-treated or untreated timber, as timber particles may be inhaled
and lodge in the lungs, causing irritation. Operators using sanders should work in well-ventilated areas, and wear
protective masks and clothing, including gloves. These precautions should be taken whether the timber is treated or
not.

Under no circumstances should waste CCA-treated timber be burnt in cooking fires, stoves, barbeques or indoor
fires. If burning must be done, it should be in small quantities in an open area. People and animals must be kept out
of the smoke, and ash must not be allowed to get into water supplies.

Burning CCA-treated timber gives rise to two problems. The first is that arsenic is vaporised from the timber and is
present in the smoke. This may be inhaled with toxic effects. Meat exposed on a barbecue may become contaminated
with arsenic should CCA-treated timber us used in the fire. Secondly, the toxic chemicals become concentrated in the
ash and are partially converted into the water-soluble forms. Small amounts could be toxic to children and pets and
could also pollute water supplies.

Precautions are needed in disposing of CCA-treated timber waste and offcuts. A safe method of disposal of this
material is to bury it in a local government dump site.

Summary

• Playground equipment made from CCA-treated timber does not pose any health hazard to children, providing it
has been left for six weeks after treatment to allow complete fixation of the chemicals, and providing it has been
hosed down before use.
• Fencing constructed from CCA-treated timber does not pose any health hazard to animals, providing it is also left
for six weeks and hosed down before use.
• Burning CCA-treated timber in barbeques, stoves, cooking fires and indoor fires is dangerous.
• The safest way to dispose of CCA-treated wood waste is to bury it in a local government dump site.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
FACT 1 - Outdoor timbers exposed to temperature changes, water,
moisture or humidity, will absorb or lose water. When this
happens timber will swell or shrink, with likely twisting, warping
or cracking.
FACT 2 - If your outdoor timber products are not well protected
from water. Moisture and temperature changes, you are likely to
suffer minor or major timber twisting or distortion, and possibly
rotting. This can cause major damage to your property and
possible risk to your personal safety.
FACT 3 - Timber weatherboards, claddings, lining boards, hand
rails and other similar products must not be installed during
extremely hot or very wet weather as moisture loss or absorption
will be rapid and timber twisting, swelling or shrinkage is likely to
occur.
FACT 4 - Outdoor timber structures must be correctly fixed or
fastened on to timber frames at the correct spacing to avoid likely
twisting, cupping, or other distortion causing damage and loss.
The structure must also be appropriately maintained.
FACT 5 - Incorrect installation methods, inclusive of poor or no
clamping, or poor ventilation, may result in timber becoming
twisted or distorted, and lead to a shorter service life.
FACT 6 - Use of incorrect nails or other fixing materials may result
in your timber twisting and moving with likely damage and loss.
Non galvanised nails will rust and possibly break or fail.
FACT 7 - Treated Pine is available kiln dried (KD) after treatment
to a moisture content of 12 - 15%. It is recognised by timber experts
to be very suitable for most parts of Australia.
Use of wet treated pine should be avoided for structural use as it is
not suitable for structural applications.
FACT 8 - Timber must be carefully transported, stored and
handled to prevent major water exposure, which can cause
shrinkage, swelling, cracking and other movement problems.
Storage on or close to the ground may cause water absorption and
can result in twisting or swelling.

Is your timber "Fit for Purpose"
