Instead of debating the merits of one product over
another, we would be better served to help educate
people on the safe use of these products. Your
comments about not worrying about how people use or
dispose of trex lumber is not accurate. Users of Trex
should wear gloves, goggles and dust masks just as with
treated wood. Also, many vinyl and plastic wood
products should not be burned because of toxic gas.
My biggest concern is that PATH portrays ACQ as being
non-toxic, then later say it is less toxic (which is
it) and now your comments lead readers to think that
with products such as trex there are no worries. You
may want to read a MSDS on these types of wood
substitutes before you so quickly recommend that there
are no worries with them. All product have some
handling precautions, most of them including treated
wood are common sense precautions that PATH could help
educate users about.
