Draft Sampling Protocols for Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCA) Pressure-Treated Playground Equipment and Related Soil; Notice of Availability
This notice announces the availability of draft sampling and analysis protocols developed cooperatively by CPSC and EPA to collect and analyze dislodgeable residues of arsenic, chromium and copper from Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCA) pressure-treated playground equipment (dislodgeable residues protocol) and soil residues of arsenic, chromium and copper in soils beneath/adjacent to CCA-treated playground equipment (soil residues protocol). The studies to be conducted using these protocols will assist both Agencies in assessing exposure that can be expected for children playing on/around CCA-treated playground equipment. By providing notice and opportunity for comment on the protocols, the Agencies are seeking to strengthen stakeholder involvement and help ensure that their decisions are transparent and based on the best available information.
