I'm not aware that LEED is concerned with this issue.

Yes, according to Rule 1113, Wood Preservatives maximum VOC 350 g/l

But would the rule only apply to wood preservatives applied on site? and not to, say, treated wood manufactured elsewhere?

2. The wood preservative would be required to be provided for EQc4.4, to comply with NAUF requirements,
