The use of ozone to kill fungi in wood

Abstract
Systems for the controlled generation, circulation and destruction of residual ozone have been commercialized and these systems could be used to eliminate pests from solid wood packaging materials such as pallets. A preliminary test with small cubes showed that ozone fumigation could kill decay fungi in wood. Subsequent trials with larger wood samples were less ineffective, suggesting that the inability of ozone to penetrate deeply into wood will limit its potential for pest mitigation.
