I have heard that it is, but cannot confirm it. The reason given is that the same substance that keeps it from rotting (a toxin to bacteria) is toxic to us as well.

NO! Thats Highly dangerous as varnished, painted, and green treated woods release terrible toxins as they burn. Residue from treated wood sticks to the chiminey liner, if enough is burned, a liquid form of the residue will acumulate and run down the chimney liner.

Likewise, burning manufactured wood products produces toxins and carcinogens.
