The main focus was on Its use as a wood preservative , and an herbicide. Arsenic Is a regulated substance with target clean up levels' established by the state government. It Is a naturally occurring material In Florida soils and water. Me;jor , causes for high arsenic concentrations, are CCA treated wood and blocides. The playground at , the Long Center was tested and did show'levels higher than the,state clean up target levels. ',The highest concentration was ,found on the soccer fields; it was determined that the herbicide' , used on the field has arsenic as a primary ingredient and this appear~ to have contribute'd to the . " high levels. The herbicide Is being uS,ed as prescribed by the manufacturer and therefore " , : requires no clean up. Staff recommendations for the Long Center include bi-ann'uallysealing of , the playground equipment and Investigation of alternate herbicides for the soccer field. The soccer field is also be,ing re-evaluated for risk.' The playground Was reopened on Apri11.6, 2001 after risk analysis showed minimal dangers from norillal use. , i ,';. J'!" .\"t '.
