Leaching of CCA from Pinus patula during marine trials in the southern hemisphere

IRG/WP 4167

G D Shelver, C D McQuaid, A W W Baecker

Pinus patula stakes were treated with CCA to retentions of 31 kg/m³ salts, and were sited in the sea of Port Alfred, South Africa, for two years. Samples were then removed to the laboratory and analysed as before for copper and arsenic. Prelimiary data showing CAA losses from these stakes in the marine environment showed that CCA was longitudinally leached from them, and was also transversly redistributed in them.
