本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛Dear Mr. ,
I have been asked to respond to your query regarding CCA-treated wood
and vegetable gardens. The arsenic in CCA-treated wood will leach out
into the soil. However, arsenic does not migrate very far laterally.
One meter from the fence line should be a sufficient distance to avoid
any influence of the arsenic leaching from the fence. This assumes that
there is no elevated platform and therefore no potential influence of a
"drip line".
Additional precautions, should you wish, would be to line the garden
bed
with a plastic liner and/or seal the wood with a penetrating oil-based
wood finishing sealant.
I hope this answers your question. If you require clarification or have
additional questions do not hesitate to call or email me (number noted
below).
Yours truly,
