Are Wood Preservatives Safe for Children?

There’s a lot of talk about wood preservatives lately (even Hillary Clinton is talking), especially in terms of children playing on wooden equipment. What are your thoughts on this stuff?

Michael Dresdner: Depends on the preservative. Some, such as CCA (which contains derivatives of chromium, copper and arsenic) are really not meant for human contact. Others are. Like people, not all preservatives are created equal.
