lbillings | Posted - 20 December 2002 10:48    Insert new message here... I applaud Mr. Heberer's efforts to shed light on the truth about CCA pressure treated wood. The Home Builders strong support of plastics and steel, and its repetitive jabs at the lumber industry make me wonder if NHBA only touts those products whose industries bankroll their association? If not, what is their agenda in casting aspersion on the quality, duarability, and availability of lumber? Also, aren't EPA approval and innumerable independent studies presenting evidence about the safety of CCA treated wood enough? One third of the SYP imported into Europe between January and September 1999 was treated, yet the Home Builders Association magnifies Europeans' fears aobut the safety of CCA wood to discourage its application in the US. Go figure. |
