At the same time, environmental pressures bear ever more heavily on the types of chemicals and processes employed in the preservation industry. This book records the proceedings of an international meeting arranged to address such issues. The 15 principal chapters are based upon papers by invited experts to a combined audience of preservation practitioners and non-specialists. The chapter sequence follows the logical pattern of the conference, beginning with a review of the biological threats to be contended. There follow historical and state-of-the-art accounts of aqueous, organic solvent and non-liquid treatment processes. Preservatives increasingly must meet international product and environmental standards, which along with the related test, analytical and quality control procedures, are described and referenced. Contributors from the wood preservation industry address a range of needs associated with cost, safety and performance efficacy, not neglecting a search for a better understanding of the finer chemical mechanisms involved. Remaining problems are outlined in strategies for further research and development.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eWood preservation: The biological challenge\u003cbr\u003e Industrial wood preservatives: The history, development, uses, advantages, and future trends\u003cbr\u003e Diffusion treatment of wood: An American perspective\u003cbr\u003e In-situ and supplementary treatments using solid water diffusible preservatives\u003cbr\u003e Organic solvent preservatives: Application and composition\u003cbr\u003e Wood-chemical interactions and their effect on preservative performance\u003cbr\u003e Water based fixed preservatives\u003cbr\u003e Wood preservation: Strategies for the future\u003cbr\u003e The properties and performance of coal-tar creosote as a wood preservative\u003cbr\u003e Chemical analysis in the development and use of wood preservatives\u003cbr\u003e Developing quality control procedures and standards for diffusible preservatives\u003cbr\u003e TBTO and TBTN: Safe and effective biocides for wood preservation\u003cbr\u003e Assessment of the efficacy of wood preservatives\u003cbr\u003e Progress towards European standards in wood preservation\u003cbr\u003e Preservatives for the market - or the Ksrket for preservatives?
