Coatings Reduce Exposure to Pentachlorophenol Vapors The wood preservative pentachlorophenol is not currently recommended for use in building interiors, and concerns have arisen about possible health effects associated with exposure to airborne vapors often found in buildings where pentachlorophenol-treated wood has been improperly used in the interior parts. Scientists at-the Forest Products Labora- tory and at Mississippi State University have identified commercially available coatings that eliminate pentachloro- phenol vapors and yet are easy to apply and esthetically pleasing. Sophisticated scientific techniques were used to eval- uate paints, varnishes, and other coat- ings for their ability to reduce or totally contain vapors emanating from penta- chlorophenol-treated wood. Such coat- ings could eliminate the potential health hazards resulting from the use of these important wood preservatives. Results have been published in a scien- tific journal and summarized in a user- oriented bulletin. This information is useful to homeowners, farmers, and others needing to reduce the level of pentachlorophenol vapors in their buildings without having to replace the treated S1-.
