Popis:	Over the past decade modernized processes for furfurylation of wood have been developed. These new processes are based on completely new catalytic systems and process additives. These new systems do not add metals or halogens to the product, which is important for an environmentally acceptable product. However, little is known about the ecotoxicity of furfurylated wood or other environmental impacts that may result from the modification method. The study shows that concentrations of non-reacted furfuryl alcohol in the final products are low and do not contribute to any fungicidal effect. Environmental tests show no significant level of increased ecotoxicity, and degradation through combustion does not release any volatile organic compounds or polyaromatic hydrocarbons above normal levels for wood combustion. Hence, furfurylation of wood to enhance wood properties is not believed to be harmful to the environment.
