RGI converted in 2000 the ethylene oxide chamber at the Istituto
Centrale per la Patologia del Libro of Rome (the Italian laboratory
dealing with books conservation). The chamber was equipped with
VELOXY (see <URL:http://web.tiscali.it/RGI_Genova/VELOXY.htm>) that
was modified for this purpose. I can send, if you like it, more
details.
