Working Group 2: IMPACTS<br />

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

Scope: Risk assessment, optimum bio-effective life, remediation and wood wastes<br />

Risk assessment methods and rationale, including impact studies<br />

• Modelling of flux in time functions (SHR)<br />

• Modelling receiving compartments (SHR)<br />

• Measuring flux in fresh water conditions (SHR, TNO)<br />

• Risk assessment approach (TNO)<br />

• LCA of preservative treated wood (TNO)<br />

• LCA of chemically modified wood (SHR)<br />

Implementing remediation technologies<br />

• Activities by commercial companies (no research directly related to wood<br />

preservation)<br />

Recycling and disposal<br />

• Waste wood as biofuel (SHR)<br />

• Rapid detection methods for waste wood (SHR, TNO)<br />

• Cascade use of wood (TNO)<br />

Working Group 3: INNOVATIONS<br />

Scope: Application of modified wood, heat treatment, insect growth regulators, new<br />

biocides, non-biocidal treatments, resins and oils<br />

Scale up and exploitation of non-toxic treatments<br />

• Exploratory award (CRAFT) OILWOOD project (SHR)<br />

• Water repellents as wood preservative for HC 3 (WUR)<br />

• Multifunctional treatment for HC3 applications (fire retardant and wood preservative<br />

functions) (TNO)<br />

• Modification of wood with non-toxic inorganic agent (TNO)<br />

Scale-up and exploitations of chemical modification systems<br />

• Pilot plant for acetylation (AKBV) (SHR)<br />

• Oils and fatty acids with added anhydride functionality (SHR)<br />

• Process development for DMDHEU treatments (SHR)<br />

• Material research PLATO treated wood (SHR)<br />

• Scaling up of one and two step thermal treatments (SHR)<br />

• Performance of heat treated wood (TNO)<br />

Others<br />

• Investigation of new remediation techniques without chemical agents against<br />

insects (TNO)<br />
