4. CONCLUSIONS<br />

COST ACTION E22: Environmental optimisation of wood protection<br />

The scope of the COST Action E22 is of considerable relevance and interest in Slovenia,<br />

with some of the scientific areas being the subject of current active work at our<br />

organisation and in cooperation with relevant research groups in Europe<br />

The key themes are:<br />

• carrying out chemical syntheses and chemical characterization of synthesized<br />

fungicidal compounds<br />

• testing the antifungal effectiveness of substances and determining bio-effective<br />

life of biocides and their compatibility with surface coatings<br />

• studying of fungal degradation of wood and selective enzymatic degradation of<br />

wood by white-rot fungi<br />

• studying of copper-tolerance of brown rot fungi and bioremediation of preservative-treated<br />

wood waste<br />

• anoxic procedure for controlling biodeterioration and introduction of<br />

environmentally friendly preparations for preservation of wooden cultural heritage<br />

objects<br />

• wood modification and its compatibility with surface coatings.<br />
