What kind of wood do we use

to sister termite-damaged joists in the basement?

The old, undamaged wood is to be treated for termites by an exterminator to prevent further damage. Some old repairs were made with the greenish pressure treated wood, which I understand emits harmful gases – so I don’t want to put any more down there. So what do we use to sister the single joist that needs sistering now?
