[Pil-pc-oceania] fumigated pallets

[Linda Shewan]

Hi, we are building windbreaks around our numerous gardens using untreated timber pallets. We have identified a source of unlimited pallets (yippee!) which are not the green of treated pine and don't belong to Chep Pallets, however as they have been imported from China and Indonesia they have been treated with fumigants, prior to importation into Australia.



Can anyone advise the risks with using fumigated pallets in food gardens. And around children. Is there some way of determining their usefulness or otherwise?



Appreciate any info, Linda
