A chromated-copper-arsenate (CCA) wood preservative was tested for toxic effects on the growth of a bacterial culture (Flavobacterium sp. ATCC 53874) capable of biodegrading pentachlorophenol, another wood preservation chemical. Both a commercially available CCA preparation and a laboratory-prepared
Previous studies have demonstrated leaching from chromated-copper-arsenate (CCA)-treated wood, which is used in pilings and bulkheads, and resulting toxicity to various estuarine organisms. The current study compared effects of leachates from CCA-treated wood with those of recycled plastic "lumber,"
Laboratory and field experiments were conducted to examine the uptake of Cu, Cr, and As leached from southern yellow pine (SYP) treated with chromated copper arsenate type C (CCA-C), as well as effects on mortality and growth, in blue mussels (Mytilus edulis). Mussels were exposed to CCA-C-treated w
