Leachability and fixation of copper-chrome-arsenic (CCA) preservative from treated Malaysian hardwoods used in construction

The performance and environmental safety of CCA treated wood rely on the extent of post-treatment storage of CCA treated wood. In relation to this, a study on the comparative leachability of CCA-treated refractory and permeable heartwoods was carried out on four Malaysian hardwoods, namely Kempas (K...
