The 2002 US Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Awards (see Box 8.3) recognized the development of a copper-based environmentally advanced wood preservative as a replacement for chromated copper arsenate. The new preservative contains a copper(II) complex and a quaternary ammonium salt. Its introduction into the market coincides with a change of policy within the wood-preserving industry arsenic-based products should have been eliminated by the end of 2003.
