[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1456644, member: 12607"] It's probably 'straining at a gnat'. Old CCA-treated lumber *might* have leached a small amount of arsenic, but I"d hazard a guess that it was not enough to cause a problem. The new stuff is less toxic. I wouldn't throw a useful treated wooden trough away... but might not use any old stockpiled CCA-treated lumber to build one now. HOWEVER!!! Anymore, the most common source of arsenic poisoning in cattle is from people burning old CCA-treated lumber and allowing cattle access to the burn pile. They will eat up those ashes like they're candy... and die. [/QUOTE]
