Default Poisoned wood in the compost

The auditorium in the Theatre .....
http://www.myalbum.co.uk/Album=KOB47VPH .... is being sanded back to bare
wood and treated. The wood has had all sorts of polishes and varnishes over
the years, some of which would no doubt be poisonous. If the dust is spread
and mixed in with new material going onto the compost heap, would the action
of composting 'kill' the poisons?

(All the improvements you see in the slide show have been done by
volunteers, or bought with funds raised by volunteers.)
