Title: Carbon dioxide and dye change

As part of our IPM program, we have made a policy of treating textiles for pests (freezing or CO2)
if they will be brought to our lab or put in our storage with our permanent collection. Recently, a potential donor commented that they would not allow their textiles to be treated by CO2 because they had been told it causes dyes to change. I have not experienced this. Has anyone seen evidence of this or done research or come across anything that substantiates this?
Thanks,
