the traditional wood coatings become brittle, faded and fall away, says Durawood project coordinator Elodie Bugnicourt.
Left untreated, the moulds can burrow deep inside the wood, breaking down the vital lignin or cellulose compounds inside the cells,
Unprotected wood is also vulnerable to various fungi. A particular nuisance is the blue-stain fungus,

#Wood instead of petroleum: Producing chemical substances solely from renewable resources Petroleum might well be replaced by wood soon
when it comes to manufacturing chemical substances. Research has made now significant progress towards using sustainable biomass, like wood, as an alternative raw material for chemical production.
Scientists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) in Germany and at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa in the USA recently managed to synthesize two complex chemical substances from wood-based starting materials.
The process can be as cost-effective as the conventional petroleum product-based process and is less damaging to the environment."
This new work shows that the relevant carbon skeletons can be created solely from wood-based starting materials.
"This shows that the implementation of a wood-based chemical economy is associated not necessarily with decreased cost-efficiency,"added Daniel Stubba, JGU first author of the publication."

#Discarded cigarette ashes could go to good use--removing arsenic from water Arsenic a well-known poison can be taken out of drinking water using sophisticated treatment methods.
Recognizing that the porous structure of cigarette ash could be suited better to this purpose Li's team decided to test it.
In a simple inexpensive one-step method the researchers prepared cigarette ash with a coating of aluminum oxide.
Because cigarette ashes are discarded in countries around the world and can be collected easily in places where public smoking is allowed it could be part of a low-cost solution for a serious public health issue they say.

#Machines Sniff out Illegal Specimens Of Wood Illegally traded specimens of endangered species present a huge problem to investigators and customs officials all over the world.
NPR with Oregon Public Broadcasting reports that a wildlife forensic lab has managed to start identifying illegal wood samples using a DART-TOF (Direct Analysis In real time Time of Flight) mass spectrometer,
When investigators find something they think might have been made with illegal wood, they send it to the lab. The lab takes a small sample and puts it in the machine.
The machine reads the unique combination of chemicals given off by the wood, and spits out a reading that the scientists can compare to other samples in a growing database.
If the wood is a match for a rare or endangered species, the authorities can take action against the people using illegally forested wood.
