Decomposition of methylisothiocyanate in Douglas-fir heartwood
Decomposition of the wood fumigant methylisothiocyanate (MIT) was studied in blocks of Douglas-fir heartwood. Decomposition was influenced by wood moisture content (MC), with decomposition rates estimated at 0.2, 0.9, and […]

Development of threshold values for boron and fluoride in non-soil contact applications
The thresholds of boron and fluoride against selected decay fungi (Postia placenta, Gloeophyllum trabeum, and Trametes versicolor) were determined in Douglas-fir sapwood and heartwood in non-soil contact exposures. Even small […]
