CCA Treated Wood 
In response to several inquiries about CCA Treated Wood, NPIC presents this collection of science-based articles, fact-sheets and resources. Our goal is to promote informed decision-making based on sound science. This page represents one subtopic, other topics are available at the main index page.
For information concerning non-CCA treated wood (ACQ, creosote, pentachlorophenol, borates) please see our Non-CCA Wood Preservatives page.
If you have questions about this, or any pesticide-related topic, please call NPIC at 1-800-858-7378 (seven days per week, 6:30am-4:30pm PST), or email at npic@ace.orst.edu.
