Doug S,
I come from New Zealand and Tanalised (treated) Timber for house construction was banned for use, back in the 1990's.
For the simple reason, it kills Fire-fighters that extinguish houses, made of this material.
As Kobuchi posted above, there are a lot of nasty chemicals in that timber, which only release when the timber catches fire and burns.
I'm not talking about Inhalation of the smoke, it's caused by penetration through the small areas of exposed skin that a FF has in a fire.
I hate the stuff!. [Linked Image]
