5th September. How to Poison Your Neighbours With Fly Ash.

I see Mrs B. in her ignorance has encouraged the fencing contractor working next door to leave all the offcuts of treated wood for fuelling their new stove.

I debate whether to leave a note about the toxicity of this timber but simply say something about the internet and CCA treatment, with a mention of not scattering it on a vegetable garden.

Apparently, if the current rotproofing treatment has remained unchanged in the uk, a plank of 6 x 2 has enough arsenic in it to kill 250 adults.

It's a wonder Al Quaida hasn't conceived of a dirty bomb based on the ash from the domestic woodburner?
