Arsenic is a Known Carcinogen and Causes Cancer.
For Determining if Pressure Treated Wood Contains CCA, ACZA, and other-Arsenic Based Chemicals.
Why Test Pressure TreatedWood for Arsenic?
Arsenic causes lung, bladder, and skin cancer in humans, and may also cause other cancers including kidney, prostate, and nasal passage cancer
For over 30 years, arsenic-based chemicals, such as CCA (Chromated Copper Arsenate), have been used to increase the life span of outdoor wood. In 2004, a phase-out began to remove arsenic treated lumber out of the consumer market to minimize human contact with arsenic.
Arsenic treated lumber is used for decks, playgrounds, fences, picnic tables, mulch, etc. While the phase-out will eventually remove this wood from the residential market, the arsenic treated wood has a life span of 10-35 years. For Arsenic Home Test Kits Please Visit www.arsenichometest.com
