COST ACTION E22: Environmental optimisation of wood protection<br />
Scope: Risk assessment, optimum bio-effective life, remediation and wood wastes<br />
• Risk assessment (Dr. Dario Reimão, Dr. Alexandra Ribeiro; Dr. Eduardo P.<br />
Mateus)<br />
• Optimum bio-effective life (Dr. Lina Nunes)<br />
• Remediation (Dr. Dario Reimão, Dr. Alexandra Ribeiro; Dr. Eduardo P. Mateus)<br />
• Wood wastes and treated wood (Dr. Lina Nunes, Dr. Dario Reimão, Dr.<br />
Alexandra Ribeiro; Dr. Eduardo P. Mateus, Dr. José António dos Santos, Dr.<br />
Fernando Caldeira Jorge)<br />
• Creosote and creosote-based products (Dr. Alexandra Ribeiro; Dr. Eduardo P.<br />
Mateus)<br />
Ongoing research projects<br />
• Study of the remediation of impregnated wood waste, in view of the recovery of<br />
the preservative products and the recycling of the wood (Portuguese Program –<br />
Agência de Inovação, 2000-2001; Industrial partner: CARMO Lda.)<br />
• Study of the creosote removal from treated wood out of service (Portuguese Program<br />
– FCT/UNL, 1998-2000)<br />
• Electrodialytic removal of contaminants from polluted matrices (Danish Program,<br />
1999-2000)<br />
