There have been no known health problems related to the use of CCA and Creosote-treated wood since its use began six decades ago. Only misusing treated wood and timber (like burning it for preparing food or for domestic fireplaces for example) leads to unhealthy exposure that can pose health risks. It is important to distinguish that there is a difference between the chemicals that are used to treat the wood before and after treatment. Before treatment these chemicals are dangerous, after treatment, they are fixed into the wood and non-toxic unless burnt. Treated Poles are an environmentally friendly product as long as it is not used to kindle fire or disposed of incorrectly. Cut wood retains the carbon it has absorbed which lowers the carbon emissions in our atmosphere. Worldwide foresters are committed to planting more trees that are used which makes it a renewable raw material that is good for the environment.
