Subject: chlorine dioxide and mold

chlorine dioxide and mold

From: Annie Peterson <annie.peterson<-at->

Does anyone have experience with the use of chlorine dioxide packets
for mold remediation on library and archival collections, and/or
knowledge of the long-term effects of chlorine dioxide on materials?

It seems this was a topic of discussion in the 1990s/early 2000s,
with two articles found on CoOL:

    <URL:http://cool.conservation-us.org/byorg/abbey/an/an24/an24-4/an24-402.html>

and

    <URL:http://cool.conservation-us.org/byorg/abbey/an/an26/an26-6/an26-618.html>

and it has come up again at least once recently:

    <URL:http://cool.conservation-us.org/coolaic/sg/bpg/annual/v21/bp21-08.pdf>

But, I'm not finding any further information on potential long-term
damage caused by using chlorine dioxide, and specifically packets of
it, for mold remediation.  Any knowledge, experience, or resources
would be much appreciated.
