Background
Treated Wood: Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCA)
• Most common wood preservative in USA (>75%)
• Total Arsenic:1900 mg/kg-19,000
• Cumulative Arsenic in service: 330,000 tonnes
• As(V) New Wood; As(V) & As(III) Aged Wood• Studies Have Shown that CCA is “Dislodged” by
Touching the Wood ( i.e. “Dislodgeable Arsenic)• Arsenic can also be absorbed through skin

Background
Human Health Effects• Arsenobetaine [(CH3)3AsCH2COOH] Seafood• As (III) > As (V)• Acute: GI, Cardiac, Renal, Nervous System• Chronic: Nervous (CNS & PNS), Dermatologic,
Peripheral Vascular, Hepatic– Cancer: Dermatologic, Pulmonary, Hepatic,
Bladder, Hematopoietic

BackgroundChildhood Exposure• Age dependent• Behavior (Pesticide research)
– Food Handling & Non Dietary Ingestion• Soil Ingestion by children: 40 to 100 mg/day
– Hand-Mouth & Object-Mouth Activity • Mean hourly frequencies (age 2-4 yrs): 9.5-20.9x/hour
Childhood Vulnerability– Neurologic System

BackgroundCCA-treated wood subject of EPA evaluation under
FIFRA, including Scientific Review Panel and Risk Assessment for residential settings and potential exposure to children.
On 2/12/02, EPA Administrator Whitman announced voluntary decision by industry to move consumer use of treated lumber products away from a variety of pressure-treated wood that contains arsenic by 12/31/03, in favor of new alternative wood preservatives.
PROBLEM: CCA-TREATED WOOD IN USE EVERYWHERE!

Specific Aims
• Determine levels of Arsenic present in playgrounds made from CCA-treated wood;
• Determine if dislodgeable Arsenic from CCA-treated playground structures is present on children’s hands by administering hand rinses;
• Determine if levels of Arsenic on children’s hands are associated with levels of Arsenic measurable in children’s urine.
