Pests control by inert gases in XVII c wooden sculpture
Journal Title: Annals of WULS, Forestry and Wood Technology; Zeszyty naukowe SGGW - Year 2015, Vol 91, Issue
Abstract
The study was carried out on a wooden sculpture from the turn of the sixteenth and the seventeenth century. The presence of damaged parts in the statue made it necessary to try to eliminate fungi and / or insects from the wood. Due to the historic nature of the object, low-reactive gases were used for eradication. The gases are not harmful to warm-blooded organisms and contains little environmental contaminants. The use of such procedures is the latest innovation in the control of insects in wooden monuments. Fumigation treatment carried out using a low-reactive gas (nitrogen) gave the positive effect of eradicating xylophagous insects.
