Treated Wood Safety Video

The American Wood Preservers Institute, Fairfax, Va., has released a video that features five noted experts attesting to the safety of pressure treated wood.

Among the researchers interviewed on AWPI News Update: How Safe Is Preserved Wood? are Drs. Christopher Teaf, director of toxicology, Florida State University, and Dr. GaylordLopez, director, Georgia Poison Center, both of whom agree that preserved wood is safe for children and adults.

The l6-minute program, anchored by former Washington, D.C., area newsperson Jane Karlen Walsh, is particularlytimelyin light of a recent episode of ABC-TV's The Practice that questioned the safety of treated wood (see Nov., p.26).
