(Regarding an EPA ban on the use of wood treated with arsenic to preserve it in an environment of humidity and insects - Florida)

"Customers who buy the arsenic-free alternative - the same untainted wood that Walt Disney World uses at the Animal Kingdom theme park in case animals chew - will be spending up to 25 percent more than they would buying arsenic-treated wood."

"Disney officials buy the safer wood from West Orange Lumber Co. in Oakland, which began selling it a year ago and is one just a handful of places in the state that carry the product."
