Levels of Chromated Copper Arsenate in Aged Radiata Vineyard Posts

Abstract
Chromated copper arsenate (CCA) was developed in the 1930’s in India as an alternative to creosote, whose availability tended to fluctuate with the production of coke for steel production (Hartford, 1973). In Australia, it was not widely used until the 1960’s however when native timber harvesting declined and the demand for outdoor living spaces (decks, pergolas, etc) created new markets for treated timber. The market for CCA treated timber gradually expanded to include a number of non-residential uses including utility poles and vineyard posts.
