Abstract
The effects of exposure of spores of Bacillus globigii NCTC 10073 to controlled levels of formaldehyde vapour under varying environmental conditions are reported. The death rate of the micro-organism varies with the humidity and formaldehyde concentration and can be predicted for conditions within the limits of the information available. A mathematical model for the effects of formaldehyde is proposed which can be used to calculate the effects of known conditions and as the basis of a controlled formaldehyde fumigation process. Results of practical tests of such a process are described.Entities:
