Thanks for raising the issue. You are right though, most furniture contains toxins that offgas into our homes. think of particle board and chipboard and mdf and all the rest, they are basically saw dust and lots of toxic glue! <br />But in this case, I think the amount of toxins depends on the pallets. the ones used for international shipping I believe, yes, are treated as are, i think, the ones that are reused. But there are pallets used domestically that they do not treat because they do not intend to reuse them and they just junk them. I know a lot of people like to use pallets for firewood and they have to seek out the untreated ones. People use the treated ones as a free source of treated pine for garden edging too, but in that case they want the sprays.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195170697405162571.post-90369446089313309662011-09-16T11:11:53.112-07:002011-09-16T11:11:53.112-07:00This is very, very fun!
