COST ACTION E22: Environmental optimisation of wood protection<br />
• Thermal modification of wood<br />
• Chemical modification of wood<br />
• Non biocidal treatments<br />
• Environmental impact assessment<br />
3. RESEARCH ACTIVITIES BY WORKING GROUPS<br />
The activities of each participant are presented her classified according to the respective<br />
scientific areas defined in the Memorandum of Understanding of COST Action E22.<br />
Working Group 1: PERFORMANCE<br />
Scope: Traditional wood preservatives, specifying durability requirements, optimum<br />
bio-effective life, creosote, field performance using soil, insects in Europe, climatic<br />
conditions.<br />
Traditional wood preservatives<br />
• Analytical methods for wood preservatives (TNO)<br />
Classifying hazard including risk mapping<br />
• Cost climate index (European Fact project), predicting deterioration (TNO, SHR).<br />
Efficacy prediction (relationship between testing and practice)<br />
• Laboratory and field test methods for efficacy predictions in HC 3 (SHR, TNO,<br />
WUR)<br />
• TMC and stake test comparisons (HC 4) (WUR, SHR)<br />
Scientific basis for realistic, end-use predictive tests<br />
• Microbiological studies associated with developing realistic end use tests foe HC<br />
3 using unpainted lap-joints (TNO, SHR)<br />
