| Abstract: | Contamination of soil and water in the vicinity of two sawmills using preservative against blue staining fungi that contained chlorophenols was studied. The soil around the treatment basins was found to contain up to 70 mg chlorophenols per kg and that in the storage area for treated lumber up to 6 mg per kg. Contamination extended to a depth of at least 2 meters near the treatment basins. Surface water inside the sawmill area was found to contain the same chlorophenols as those used in wood preservation, plus some additional isomers. The ground water and lake water around the sawmill areas was found to be contaminated by wood preservative. |
