Ehhh...less toxic, yes.......non toxic, I don't think so. I choose to keep it away from my food if at all possible.
As you said it's your choice but the facts are the facts and it's safe for you, your animals and your plants.

chromated copper arsenate (or as you called it first gen PT) was proven by many many scientific studies to have minimal leeching even after 45 yrs and it's only real issues was if you burned it and inhaled the vapors, it was voluntarily replaced with micronized copper azole.I choose that because many chemicals deemed 'safe' are much later found to be not so safe at all....like the first generation of PT.
What was it treated with? Heat - perfectly safe. If it was treated with a "chemical" then I would find out which one and do some research on it before deciding if it's "safe". A good question to ask might be if the FDA has approved the chemical. (I prefer no chemicals myself, but my budget/time constraints might determine otherwise)
