[Title] => Grading imported lumber
[Summary] =>
A scientific method of grading the quality of imported lumber has been developed.
Called machine graded lumber (MGL), the method was developed by the Department of Science and Technology-Forest Products Research and Development Institute (DOST-FPRDI) in tandem with the Japan-based International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO).
The rationale behind the crafting of the procedure is that the current national ban on logging has opened the door for contractors to rely more heavily on imported lumber for their construction needs.

[Title] => Tree barks can clean industrial waste water
[Summary] => Don’t throw away those waste barks from industrial tree plantations.
These can be used to clean polluted water of toxic metals, especially lead, it was found in a study done by chemist Jennifer P. Tamayo of the Los Baños-based Department of Science and Technology-Forest Products Research and Development Institute (DOST-FPRDI).
Tamayo studied the potential of barks of eight tree species to trap ions of lead and chromium present in the wastewater of a steel galvanizing plant. Chromium causes biological mutations while lead causes kidney and liver cancer.

[Title] => Stress-graded lumber good alternative to steel trusses
[Summary] => LOS BAÑOS, Laguna – Stress-graded lumber has the potential as alternative material to steel trusses for buildings.
In fact, construction engineers can opt to use stress-graded lumber as alternative in the next two to three years, it was projected by the Department of Science and Technology-Forest Products Research and Development Institute (DOST-FPRDI) based here.
Stress-graded lumber trusses are attractive construction materials at par with steel and concrete because it is as durable as 10 times cheaper, pointed out Dr. Florentino O. Tesoro, FPRDI director.
