COST ACTION E22: Environmental optimisation of wood protection University of Abertay Dundee (UAD) Contact person: Dr Alan Bruce E-mail: a.bruce@tay.ac.uk Web: www.abertay.ac.uk Research themes • biological control of basidiomycetes • timber permeability enhancement • environmental impact assessment • novel wood preservatives BRE Centre for Timber Technology and Construction (BRE) Contact person: Mr Ed Suttie E-mail: suttieE@bre.co.uk Web: www.bre.co.uk Research themes • development and application of novel approaches for improving durability of wood and components • surface stabilisation of wood products • life cycle assessments and 'whole life costs' of wood products • wood waste management • climate index, classifying and predicting risk of deterioration (fungal and insect) • decay processes and preservative performance • preventing attack by wood destroying insects • blue stain and mould growth on coated wood surfaces • IGR termite and wood borer control • climate change and insect distribution • developing test methods for non-conventional active ingredients • classifying hazards and guidance in specifying 'fit for purpose' durability • natural biocidal products and systems 184
COST ACTION E22: Environmental optimisation of wood protection Buckinghamshire Chilterns University College (BCUC) Contact person: Dr Andrew Pitman E-mail: apitma01@bcuc.ac.uk Web: www.bcuc.ac.uk Research themes • insect distribution in relation to climate modelling • micro-distribution of preservatives and efficacy • natural biocides • remediation technologies • laboratory scale modification systems 3. RESEARCH ACTIVITIES BY WORKING GROUPS The activities of each participant are presented here classified according to the respective scientific areas defined in the Memorandum of Understanding of COST Action E22. Working Group 1: PERFORMANCE Scope: Traditional wood preservatives, specifying durability requirements, optimum bio-effective life, creosote, field performance using soil, insects in Europe, climatic conditions. Classifying hazard including risk mapping • COST climate index (European FACT project), predicting deterioration (BRE, IC) • UK programme for monitoring the distribution of Hylotrupes bajulus (BRE). • Wood boring insect distribution and the use of climate change models to predict potential for insect re-distribution in the UK (BRE, BCUC). Efficacy prediction (relationship between testing and practice) • Soft rot and soil microbiology and durability requirements (IC, BRE). • Physical factors including chemical degradation of active ingredients and the loss of effectiveness of wood preservatives (BRE). • Laboratory and field test methods for efficacy prediction (BRE, IC). 185
