Mejias signs landmark law that bans toxic wood
Nassau County Legislator Dave Mejias (D-North Massapequa) and Nassau County Executive Thomas R. Suozzi recently signed a landmark law banning the sale of arsenic-treated wood for residential use. The EPA has classified arsenic as a known human carcinogen linked to birth defects, cardiovascular, immune and nervous system damage. The proposed law would prohibit the use of CCA treated wood for new play sets and prohibit the sale of arsenic treated wood or wood products for residential purposes. Pictured are Legislator Mejias and County Executive Thomas R. Suozzi.
