How safe is ProWood ACQ treated wood?
Very safe when used as directed. The preservative injected into lumber reacts with the wood substance to form an insoluble complex. It won’t evaporate or vaporize. Treated wood is clean, odorless, non-staining, and safe to work with and handle. Its locked-in protection is non-irritating to children, adults, animals and plants.

The minute amounts of preservative released over time due to wear off of the product or water contact have been carefully studied. The conclusion is clear: it is safe for the environment and safe for people and pets.

Can ProWood ACQ treated wood be used indoors?
ProWood ACQ Treated wood may be used indoors for any application except cutting boards and countertops. (This is not true for all types of treated wood.)

Why can treated wood be used for a picnic table and not a countertop?
Simply because picnic tables are primarily used for serving prepared food while a kitchen countertop is used primarily as a cutting surface for raw food.
