Abstract
Biological analysis of a new efficient method using small doses of formaldehyde for mass document disinfection is given. The method is intended to prevent or control the growth of mold on documents damaged by water during disasters. Disinfection processes allow reducing the extent of air and document contamination in storages at an early stage of fungi development. The disinfection processing eliminates the epidemic danger for documents and for personnel.
