Abstract: Wood is treated with at least one photocatalytically degradable organic substance, organic compound or at least one biocide to reduce the contamination by organic substances, organic compounds and/or biocides from wood or wood-base materials into the immediate surroundings, in particular in closed spaces. The wood treatment agent contains at least one photocatalyst which brings about the degradation of the at least one organic substance, organic compound and/or the at least one biocide. The application/introduction of the at least one photocatalyst to or into the wood can take place together with or after the introduction of the wood preservation agent.

Abstract: A water-based wood protection agent having a biocide-containing aqueous emulsion that contains at least one biocide active ingredient and at least one cationic emulsifier, and the at least one biocidal active ingredient is emulsified by the at least one cationic emulsifier to form active ingredient-emulsifier particles, which are each enclosed by an at least single-layered polyelectrolyte coating, so that the net charge of the enclosed particle is zero or negative.
