Wood is typically treated with nasty chemicals. For example, formaldehyde is extensively used in these applications, and it's linked with cancer.

- alwa 1y agoIs formaldehyde used in treating PT lumber? That link suggests it shows up in resins for engineered wood products, like particleboard for interior furniture. I was of the impression that PT lumber to modern standards involved relatively innocuous copper plus an organic biocide like an azole (for antifungal purposes), no? And I thought the formaldehyde-heavy resins were regulated into obscurity back in like 2009, were they not?
