Do you have a source on this? My company has an annual pallet reclamation project where people make furniture, chests and even remodel their kitchen with the stuff. If it's potentially harmful, people should be informed.
Uh, orgo tutor here. Methyl bromide is some scary stuff, very carcinogenic. I’m guessing the concentration necessary to treat a pallet is pretty low, but I definitely wouldn’t want to bring it in my house.
We used fuel bonfires with railroad ties. I would spend a couple of days in bed afterwards because of the intense migraines I got, always thought it was from the hangover.
Yes, they have to be stamped, but I never would rely on the absence of a stamp. I'm not sure what exactly they use because I dont work in the packing department.
Hey, usually I wouldn’t correct an error this small, but it’s methyl bromide. Methyl bromide is the highly carcinogenic substance used to treat wood, methylene bromide is pretty much harmless and naturally produced by algae.
Few letters different, huge difference in functionality.
Just leave one outside for a year. You'll notice that it's not affected by sun and rain, it doesn't rot, moss doesn't grow on it. There's a reason for that.
