Survey of dioxin emission from PCP-treated wood Titel

Key Subjects:
emissions, dioxins, preserved wood

Abstract:
ABST Dioxin has been analysed in PCP-preserved construction wood from Danis family houses from 1960-1072. All samples contained dioxin. Levels o 84-1097 ng I-TEQ/kg wood wer observed. PCP and dioxin in single-use pallets imported with goods from South Europe has also been determined. PCP was registered in 6 out of 10 samples. The sample with the highest level of PCP contained 4,6 ng I-TEQ/kg wood. The emission of dioxin to air in Denmark from PCP-preserved wood is re-estimated at 0,23 - 9,9 g I-TEQ/year.

Abstract in Danish:
Der er analyseret for dioxin i konstruktions træ imprægneret med PCP fra danske parcelhuse fra 1960 - 1972. Alle prøver indeholdt dioxin. Der er målt 84-1097 ng I-TEQ/kg træ. Der er også analyseret for PCP og dioxin i engangspaller importeret til Danmark med varer fra Sydeuropa. Der er fundet PCP i 6 ud af 10 prøver. I prøven med mest PCP er målt 4,6 ng I-TEQ/kg træ. På denne baggrund er emissionen af dioxin til luften i Danmark fra PCP-imprægneret træ nu estimeret til 0,23 - 9,9 g I-TEQ/år.
