Sure, Copper Chromated Arsenate (CCA) was taken out of the consumer market '00 or early '00's. As was stated there were different treatment or saturations of same if that is the correct way to put it. .40. .60 were most common, one was touted to last 40 years, the latter 60 years, if I recall. .40 was a blue tag, and .60 was a red tag from the treatment plants we dealt with, I hauled tractor trailer loads of it directly from the plant, fresh and laden with CCA.

You can order it for farm, ag or commerical use, its not completely outlawed, but you will not find it at H-D or Lowes etc. You will find ACQ or another, one is ground contact, one is not, but its not the same as CCA.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
