  • Limiting copper loss from treated wood in or near aquatic environments

    Creator:
    Mitsuhashi Gonzalez, June M.
    Abstract:
    Copper migration from treated wood has created concerns within the environmental community because of the potential effects of this heavy metal on aquatic organisms. Migration can be limited, to some extent, by more controlled treatments and by post-treatment processing, but these actions cannot completely overcome the problem. An alternative approach...

  • Effects of best management practices on copper migration from Douglas-fir lumber treated with ACZA, CA or ACQ

    Creator:
    Ye, Min
    Abstract:
    Copper is the most common ingredient in waterborne preservatives and provides excellent activity against most fungi and insects. However, issues associated with copper migration from treated wood have created increasing concerns about potential risks to non-target organisms in surrounding environments, especially those in sensitive aquatic environments. Various Best Management Practices...

  • Life cycle inventory of laminated veneer lumber and composite I-joist manufacturing

    Creator:
    Dancer, Eric R.
    Abstract:
    The objective of this study is to complete life cycle inventories (LCI) for laminated veneer lumber (LVL) and composite I-joist (I-joist) production in the two main forest products producing regions in the U.S., the Pacific Northwest (PNW) and Southeast (SE). LVL and I-joists are composite wood building materials that are...

  • Investigation of Styrene-Free Unsaturated Polyester Resins for Fiber-Reinforced Composites

    Creator:
    Wu, Yili
    Abstract:
    Most of existing commercial unsaturated polyester (UPE) resins are typically composed of a UPE and a high amount of highly volatile, flammable, and toxic styrene. The emission of hazardous styrene in the handling of the UPE resins and the preparation and use of fiber-reinforced UPE composites poses severe hazards to...
