ABSTRACT
A number of book.s and summaries that deal with wood preservation are currently available [I -5]. Consequently, there is little need for another general review of this subject. However, in the past few years there have been significant changes in the wood preserving industry. so a review of these trends seems appropriate. Accordingly, in this chapter emphasis will be placed on new developments and trends in the wood preserving industry. New developmellls in wood preservation have been mainly in the area of new preservatives. so this chapter will focus heavily on these advances.
