AB  - One of the major proportions of recycled persistent organic pollutants 
      (POPs)-containing waste is timber originating from old buildings, utility poles, 
      and cross-arms because POPs-based treatments were once a common means of 
      preserving wood. In 2016 and 2017, we conducted the first survey in Japan on the 
      residue concentrations of chlordanes (CHLs), pentachlorophenol (PCP), 
      pentachloroanisole (PCA), and polychloronaphthalenes (PCNs) in waste timber 
      (n = 55) and its recycled products (woodchip, n = 42; particle board, n = 3). In 
      the recycled products, the highest concentrations detected were 0.86 mg kg(-1) 
      CHLs, 3.0 mg kg(-1) PCP, 1.1 mg kg(-1) PCA, and 2.6 mg kg(-1) PCNs, which were 
      one to two orders lower than the low POP content (LPC) limits for the 
      environmentally sound management of wastes defined under the Basel Convention 
      (50, 100, and 10 mg kg(-1), respectively). In the waste timber, which included 
      bearers and columns from demolished buildings, the highest concentrations were 
      15 mg kg(-1) CHLs, 0.20 mg kg(-1) PCP, and 0.036 mg kg(-1) PCNs, no higher than 
      about 30% of the LPC limit. The concentration of CHLs in timber bearer was 
      significantly higher than those in timber column (p < 0.05). Although none of the 
      waste timber or recycled products had concentrations exceeding the LPC limits, 
      one means of ensuring low POP concentrations in recycled products is separating 
      timber bearer from timber column when demolishing wooden buildings, according to 
      the results in Japan. The timber column can be used to produce recycled products 
      and the remaining timber can be used for heat utilization and power generation.
