Three groups of experiments were performed to determine an effective
procedure for controlling decay in southern pine (Pinus spp.)
laminated timbers. (i) A decaying laminated arch of southern pine was
treated with chloropicrin. Movement of the chemical vapor through the
arch and its effect on the decay and nondecay fungal...
Quantitative and qualitative information on the retention of chlorinated residues in chloropicrin treated wood is lacking. Retention of chloropicrin and its chemical breakdown products in wood, and the effects of chloropicrin treatment of wood on invading decay fungi are explored in this thesis. Chlorinated residues in amounts up to 1.5%...
