Abstract
The current state of wood protection is briefly reviewed, and then the issues that are currently affecting preservative treatments are summarized. The strategies for addressing these issues are discussed in relation to the role of wood as a renewable building material. The potential for addressing biological attack, ultraviolet light degradation and dimensional stability in a single product are discussed in relation to the need to produce a longer-lasting material that retains the environmental attributes of wood.
