Marketing of Wood Preservatives
In general, marketers of wood preservation systems favor certain terminology. For example, the term 'preservative' is used in preference to words such as: chemical, pesticide, fungicide or biocide. And with newer preservatives, the term 'micronized' is favored over the term nanoparticle or nanotechnology, which may raise public safety concerns.

Famous quotes containing the word wood:
“It is remarkable what a value is still put upon wood even in this age and in this new country, a value more permanent and universal than that of gold. After all our discoveries and inventions no man will go by a pile of wood. It is as precious to us as it was to our Saxon and Norman ancestors. If they made their bows of it, we make our gun-stocks of it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
