Leaching of Chromium, Copper, and Arsenic from CCA-Treated Utility Poles by Cynthia A. Coles, Joseph A. Arisi, Marion Organ, Geoff I. Veinott

“…The age of the utility poles, distances from the poles, rainfall amounts, and characteristics of soil samples including cation exchange capacity (CEC), pH, and total organic carbon (TOC) were considered. Heavier rainfall, damp conditions, and more weathered poles contributed to the greatest leaching of Cu, Cr, and As. …”
