This book will present an overview of the steps involved in developing and obtaining regulatory approval of new wood preservative systems. This will include chapters by international experts on new biocides, formulation development, non-biocidal methods to protect wood, efficacy testing of lumber and wood-based composites, registration and approval, and environment and disposal issues. Also covered will be mold growth on lumber and composites treated with the newer wood preservatives and a full section on molds in homes/structures, particularly mold growth on solid and composite building materials, biocides to control molds, mold detection, human health issues, and mold litigation.About the Author(s)
