Book excerpt: Wood preservation is the pressure or thermal impregnation of chemicals into wood to a depth that will provide effective long-term resistance attack by fungi, insects, and marine borers. The chemical predominantly used in Canada for wood preservation are pentachlorophenol, creosote, and aqueous formulations of arsenic, copper, chromium or ammonia. The wood preservation process deposits or fixes these chemicals in the wood, and the toxic nature of the chemicals effectively prevents the attack of living organisms on the wood. Because the chemicals are also toxic in varying degrees to humans and aquatic organisms, their use in industry must be carefully controlled. This document is intended to provide consistent guidelines for the design and operation of wood preservation facilities in a manner that will protect workers and the environment from harmful exposure to wood preservation chemicals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Identifies technologies available for organic hazardous waste cleanup at wood-treating sites throughout the country. Focuses on the Texarkana Wood Preserving Co. Superfund Site in Texas. Tables show which kinds of remedy selections have been used at other Superfund wood-treating sites around the country (destruction technologies, separation and concentration technologies, and immobilization technologies and institutional controls). Information is given about the sites along with the reasoning for why a certain remedy was chosen. Bibliography. Charts and tables.

Book excerpt: " In the 90s, creosote was discovered under a residential neighborhood in Manville, New Jersey. Creosote, a mixture of chemicals, is used to preserve wood products, such as railroad ties. Some of the chemicals in creosote may cause cancer, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). EPA found that creosote from a former wood-treatment facility (known as the Federal Creosote site) had contaminated soil and groundwater at the site. Under the Superfund program-the federal government's principal program to clean up hazardous waste-EPA assessed site risks, selected remedies, and worked with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to clean up the site. As of May 2009, construction of EPA's remedies for the site had been completed; however, total site costs were almost $340 million and remedial construction costs had exceeded original estimates.In this context, GAO was asked to examine (1) how EPA assessed risks and selected remedies for the site, and what priority EPA gave to site cleanup; (2) what factors contributed to the difference between the estimated and actual costs; and (3) how EPA and the Corps divided responsibilities for site work. GAO analyzed EPA and Corps documents and data on the cleanup effort and its costs, and interviewed officials from these..."

Book excerpt: As part of a federal strategy to protect the environment and human health from potentially toxic commercial chemicals Environment Canada has evaluated chemical use practices within the wood preservation facilities operating in four Canadian provinces, and to document its findings. In July 1984, Environment Canada established the Wood Preservation Industry Technical Steering Committee to develop technical recommendations for wood preservation facility design and for operational measures which would: reduce or eliminate the release of wood preservation chemicals to the environment; and reduce to a minimum the exposure of workers to wood preservation chemicals.
