Pollution in wood treatment plant / Nur Zahirah Mohd. Zin

In this study, we will consider each item in the light of the future needs of the industry and the research that will supply these needs. Many of these centers on the present interest in preservation of the quality of our life and of our environment. There is a little doubt that the present wood-preservation industry is already potent factor in promoting the most efficient use of renewable timber resources. Nevertheless, work in the future must be concentrated on preservatives with less general toxicity, better methods of fixation to prevent dissemination of toxic preservatives into the environment, and greater knowledge of the eventual fate of the preservatives now being used. The control of environmental pollution from present plant operations has been discussed at the end chapter of this paper.
