Abstract
This study examines United States homeowner perceptions about treated wood products. Regional differences were measured across a number of themes including overall perceptions about treated wood, treated wood relative to alternative building materials, and safety issues. Respondents in the South had the most positive perception of treated wood. The most significant health concerns were related to arsenic and chromium in preservative treatments with no differences across regions. Overall, there is not a strong aversion to using treated wood products per se although the perception of health risks exists. Key words: treated wood, United States, homeowner perceptions, regional differences
