Organochlorine preservatives for wood

Organochlorine wood preservatives have become an important part of modern construction and wood processing. These chemical compounds are used to protect wood from pests, rot and other biological threats. However, despite their effectiveness, they pose a serious threat to the environment and human health.

Organochlorine wood preservatives include a wide range of chemicals such as pentachlorophenol, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and others. These substances are used to treat wood to ensure its durability and resistance to various harmful organisms.

Methods of environmental management of organochlorine wood preservatives require detailed analysis and understanding of their impact on the environment. For this, it is necessary to take into account not only the direct impact on wood, but also the potential consequences for the environment and human health.

Operations for harvesting, sorting, crushing and treatment with organochlorine wood preservatives also require special attention. Without proper management, these processes can lead to air, soil and water pollution.

In order to reduce the negative impact of organochlorine wood preservatives on the environment and human health, it is necessary to apply various methods of environmental management. 

Organochlorine wood protection products. Code according to the National List of Waste 03 02 02* Operations according to Appendices 1, 2 to the Law of Ukraine “On Waste Management” D10, D15. Code according to Annexes VIII, IX to the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Utilization/Removal А4040 (AD030).

Environmental management of hazardous organochlorine wood preservatives includes several important aspects:

• use of less toxic alternatives: replace organochlorine compounds with less harmful wood protection products;
• use control: to ensure strict control over the use of organochlorines, limiting their use only in cases of extreme need;
• safe storage (D15): organize proper storage of these chemicals to avoid their leakage into the environment;
• recycling: use effective methods of recycling organochlorine compounds to reduce their negative impact (D10).
