Abstract
In this paper, we discuss the usefulness of photoacoustic techniques f or characterizing the thermal properties of wood. In particular, we al so present a new photoacoustic-based detection technique for the measu rement of the water vapor diffusion coefficient in wood. The environme ntal implications of these results that relate to the daily life of ru ral populations are briefly considered.
