The question is toxic to what. Not all chemicals which are toxic to humans are toxic to bacteria, and some chemicals which are toxic to bacteria are harmless to humans (which is why we can have antibiotics).

There are chemicals (like Hydrogen Sulfide) which are very toxic to mammals that SOME bacteria eat as food.

But there are other chemicals like chlorine which are toxic to both humans and bacteria.

So the question does not have a simple answer.

What are the chemicals used to prevent decay and rotting to the wood and temper?

"Temper"? Do you perhaps mean "timber"? In any event, there are lots of chemicals that can be used to help preserve wood. They're generally toxins of some sort that inhibit the growth of decay bacteria and/or make the wood repellent or toxic to larger organisms like insects, though just sealing the wood away from moisture and oxygen can help quite a bit (this is the basic function of laquers, paints, and varnishes).
