[QUOTE="Chuck, post: 88336, member: 944"] Treated lumber changed in the early 2000's from an arsenic based preservative to copper based. Treated lumber is made by putting lumber into a big vat and removing all of the oxygen and making a vacuum. Then the chemical is applied under high pressure. Needless to say todays treated lumber is not nearly as good as it once was. Pallets are not usually treated. Treated lumber is used where ground contact is likely and exposure to rain for sure over a long period of time. The chemicals used today are not very harmful to anything except rot and won't harm insects. [/QUOTE]
