● Preservative treated wood Purpose - Extend service life - Improve economic values - Protect forest

● CCA consumption in Korea

● Biocide use in Korea ACQ CUAZ CB-HDO

● Toxicity of CCA AS 2 O 5 & Cr +6  Poisonous 2. Respiratory disease, carcinogen, ulcer, skin irritation LD 50 (mg/kg) LC 50 (96hr) Carcinogen Asrat 15~293fish 64mg/L ○ Crrat 149~177Trout 69mg/L ○ (UNEP, 1994)

● CCA debate Chemical fixation of CCA with wood component results in environmentally safe products. Treated wood will be eventually degraded and cause environment pollution.

Soil pollution standards and soil remediation criteria in Korea. Cu Soil pollution Agricultural : 6mg/kg Commercial/Industrial : 20mg/kg Soil remediation Agricultural : 15mg/kg Commercial/Industrial : 50mg/kg As Soil pollution Agricultural : 50mg/kg Commercial/Industrial : 200mg/kg Soil remediation Agricultural : 125mg/kg Commercial/Industrial : 500mg/kg ComponentCriteria Cr Soil pollution Cr 6+ (Agricultural) : 4mg/kg Cr 6+ (Commercial/Industrial ) : 12mg/kg Soil remediation Cr 6+ (Agricultural A area) : 10mg/kg Cr 6+ (Commercial/Industrial ) : 30mg/kg

● Ban components of CCA   Ban CCA treated wood (Ministry of Environment Notice )   Voluntarily stop use CCA by Korea preservative industry

● Conclusions 1. Values of the distribution coefficient (Kd) Chromium > Arsenic > Copper in all 4 matrix. Chromium > Arsenic > Copper in all 4 matrix. 2. Different soil matrixes resulted in varying mobilities of CCA components. mobilities of CCA components. 3. The values of Kd for all three metals were lower in the soil without organic matter, lower in the soil without organic matter, but increased with organic matter contents. but increased with organic matter contents.

● Conclusions 4. Further studies will be necessary to explain leaching behavior at different soil to explain leaching behavior at different soil characteristics. characteristics. 5. The mobility of metal components may be very limited to the surface area adjacent to CCA- limited to the surface area adjacent to CCA- treated wood due to their fairly large Kd. treated wood due to their fairly large Kd. 6. The metal components would be persistent and accumulated in the soil, resulting in high and accumulated in the soil, resulting in high chemical concentration in service area of chemical concentration in service area of treated wood. treated wood.
