Hi,
Could anyone please help me with the sentence below. What does it mean?
Existing CCA-treated lumber, however, poses a challenge because arsenic is acutely toxic and carcinogenic and has been
shown to leach into surrounding soils; this has prompted it being largely phased out in a cooperative effort between manufacturers and the Environmental Protection Agency (effective December 31, 2003).
Thanks
