- Prevention and Treatment of Mold in Library Collections with an Emphasis on Tropical Climates: A Ramp Study. Wood Lee, Mary Climate Climate Control Emergency Programs Environmental Influences Humidity Library Collections Library Equipment Library Materials Library Planning Nutrition Poisons Prevention This study focuses on the prevention and basic treatment of recurring mold growth in tropical climates where library-wide environmental control is not always possible. The introduction discusses major climatic groups; the effects of climate on specific materials found in library resources; and the range of options for modifying the environment. The next six chapters deal with the following topics: (1) the structure and nature of mold, and the environmental and nutritional factors in their growth and survival; (2) implications of the mold problem in the library setting; (3) prevention of mold growth in the library environment; (4) the traditional chemical approaches used to treat mold growth, i.e., fungicides and fumigation, and concerns in their use; (5) treatment options that might be used, based on an analysis of the problems and the nature of the material that is affected; and (6) a list of equipment and supplies for dealing with the problem. References to the literature cited appear at the end of each chapter. The final chapter provides a selected bibliography of 76 references. (CGD)
