"Wood preservatives, paints, or other substances should not be used for surface treatment in a way that could cause poisoning in pigs."

The above applies to pigs and perhaps only in Finland? Even if we can be accused of being pigs or swine, most of us want to live healthily and long. An excessively high percentage of children get asthma and allergies, adults die of cancer, etc., prematurely, without always really knowing why.
According to the Chemical Inspectorate, which we should trust, one should avoid wood preservatives as much as possible. To my surprise, I saw that they sell small, fine children's sandboxes made of treated wood, which made me think of everything else built outside, where children and adults spend time more or less unclothed.
Are there alternatives to pressure-treated wood for decking, railings, and stairs?

...uhhh...yes, but pets often chew on wood with a healthy appetite, which is why feeding troughs were often made from cherry wood, which apparently tastes bad. Should, against all odds, children chew on sandboxes with the same appetite, splinters in the throat would probably be a bigger danger 
Edit: Sandboxes made from cherry wood might be something

According to the Swedish Chemicals Agency, which we should trust, wood preservatives should be avoided as much as possible. To my surprise, it was observed that small, nice children's sandboxes made of impregnated wood are being sold, which made me think about everything else that's built outside where children and adults are more or less unclothed.
