Abstract

The potential for migration of boron from wood pressure-treated with disodium octaborate tetrahydrate (DOT) during rainfall events was assessed using sawdust, small blocks, and sections of Douglas-fir boards. Boron was rapidly leached from blocks and sawdust; however, boron losses from boards were much lower, suggesting that accelerated leaching methods are a poor predictor of loss from water diffusible systems.
