摘要:
The fungal attack of timber by Serpula lacrymans, resulting in the occurrence of dry rot, causes extensive damage to susceptible buildings. Remedial treatments are often costly since early detection of such fungal attack is problematic. Serpula lacrymans produces a distinctive odour that has been shown to comprise of defined metabolic volatiles. Such a volatile fingerprint could be used as a marker for infection using a portable electronic nose system. This paper describes an approach towards the development of such a device for early on-site detection of the presence of dry rot. in timbers.
