The materials used to construct a foundation can often be used as an effective barrier to the entry of radon-laden soil gas. Below-grade walls may be constructed of poured concrete, masonry, or other materials such as pressure-treated wood or stone. The materials covered in this section, poured concrete and masonry block, are the materials most commonly used for new construction. Details of radon protection in permanent wood foundations can be found in an NFoPA publication.21... [Pg.1274]

The extraction of pentachlorophenol (PCP) from pressure-treated wood wafers with supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) was studied in a continu-ons-flow extractor (Sahledemessie et al., 1997). [Pg.149]

United States was used for this purpose. The most common compound used for this purpose was chromated copper arsenate (CCA). Wood preserved with CCA is referred to as pressure-treated wood. Wood treated with CCA is now recognized as a health hazard. Many authorities believe that humans and other animals exposed to pressure-treated wood may develop health problems because of arsenic present in the wood. For this reason, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a ban on the use of CCA for treating wood, effective December 31, 2003. Pressure-treated wood may no longer be used for residential construction, although its use for industrial production is still permitted. [Pg.36]

More generally, it is recommended for field treatment of eut ends and drilled holes (that expose untreated wood) made during construction using pressure treated wood. With the right solvent and treatment procedure, it is possible to paint copper naphthenate treated wood after it has been allowed to weather for a few weeks. [Pg.312]

However, as a result of growing concerns regarding leaching of arsenic salt around the home and in children s play areas, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced on February 12,2002 a voluntary decision by the industry to move away from the consumer use of CCA-treated lumber by December 31,2003, in favor of new alternative wood preservatives. According to the EPA, these alternatives of CCA are alkaline copper quarternary (ACQ), copper boron azole (CBA), cyprocon-azole, and propioconazole. Besides, as an alternative to pressure-treated wood, EPA has suggested to use WPC materials. [Pg.416]

Currently, EPA classifies CCA as a restricted use product, for use only by certified pesticide applicators. Effective from December 31,2003, pressure-treated wood containing CCA is no longer being produced for use in most residential uses, with certain exceptions. In fact, the EPA documents says On or after May 16, 2003, any sale, distribution, or use of existing CCA stock by the registrants is prohibited. (...) It is illegal to treat wood intended for consumer use with CCA. ... [Pg.416]

Creosote penetrates deeply into and remains in the pressure-treated wood for a long time. Exposure to creosote may present certain hazards. Creosote is a possible human carcinogen and has no registered residential uses. Therefore, precautions should be taken both when handling the treated wood and in determining where to use the treated wood. It should be noted that such exposure usually occurs only when one comes in contact with railroad ties and/or utility poles. [Pg.417]

As of 2002, more than 95% of pressure-treated wood in the United States was treated with chromated copper arsenate (CCA). In 2003, the U.S. EPA prohibited the use of CCA-treated wood in residential settings. CCA poses a public health threat through its production, transportation, use, and disposal, and is especially harmful to children, who are more susceptible, and readily contact CCA-treated wood in playgrounds, decks, and picnic tables. Chemical Specialties, Inc. has developed an alkaline copper quaternary (ACQ) wood preservative... [Pg.6]

Wood flour (sawdust) is used in PE or PVC to make the popular grades of plastic lumber that competes with pressure treated wood. Plastic lumber is maintenance free and colorable, giving it a big advantage over lumber in several specific applications like outdoor decking. [Pg.497]
