[QUOTE="Ffermer Bach, post: 8796741, member: 51054"] I was told, there was a study that showed the old tanalising was poisonous to children, then it was banned in children's play areas etc. The manufacturing companies could not guarantee that the product would not be used in children play areas so they removed the chemicals that were the problem. The legislation I will add were at EU level. However, subsequently it was found that the original study that showed toxicity was inaccurate, a child would have had to have eaten a whole fence post to reach a dose that caused problems, but by this stage the old CCA had been banned and removed from use. I will add that if I was manufacturing posts I would be quite happy if the product that made my posts last 40 years was removed by EU legislation, and replaced by something that meant my product would only last 10 years, as I guess would the forestry producers too. Now Carbon footprint has become such an important thing, how on earth can we legislate to greatly increase the Carbon footprint? Unless there is some form of lobbying in the mix somewhere too? I bet everyone isn't as tight as me and re uses wire, so metal being one of the highest uses of fossil fuels Carbon footprint increases yet again! [/QUOTE]
