Hi fellow TexConsLers – The National Park
Service Conserve O Gram series (available for free download via: http://www.cr.nps.gov/museum/publications/conserveogram/cons_toc.html) has one (Number 2/4, dated 1993) specifically
outlining the health hazards for humans as well as collections by dichlorvos. The Conserve O Gram includes
references. And states “Because of its reactivity with
museum objects and health dangers, dichlorvos should only be used in controlled
conditions and only when there is no other acceptable material.” Regards, Margaret (Meg) Geiss-Mooney Textile/Costume Conservator Professional Associate, AIC mgmooney@xxxxxxxxxxxx From: Textile

objects and materials from fumigation with Dichlorvos, DDVP resin strips,
known by names such as SWAP, No Pest Strips or Vapona. Any experiences related to the use of DDVP as a
fumigant are appreciated. With appreciation, Sharon Niscak -- |
