Dillavou Biología Anti mold fungal compounds sodium polyborate indoor air quality Continuing interest in fungi and fungal-related health problems within indoorenvironments has spurred the building industry to develop ecologically-friendly, costeffective,safe and useful antifungal additives for building materials. Treated celluloseinsulation, made from recycled newsprint and amended with a variety of chemicalcompounds, has gathered attention and interest from a wide variety of sources includingthe building industry, environmentalists, and industrial mycologists. This study reportsan assessment of antifungal properties of treated cellulose insulation (as a whole) and oneof the most common principal active ingredients, sodium polyborate (CAS # 183290-63-3). Boron-treated cellulose and untreated paper homologs (controls) were challenged witha suspension containing a high concentration of fungal spores of six species of commonfungi ( Alternaria alternata Alternaria alternata , Aspergillus niger, niger Chaetomium globosum, Cladosporiumcladosporioides, Penicillium chrysogenum, Stachybotrys chartarum). Results suggest that(a) paper entering processing facilities does not harbor large concentrations of fungi; (b)treated cellulose insulation is sporocidal to the six species of fungi used in this study, andpossibly many other fungal species; and (c) unilateral exposure to sodium polyborate, theprincipal active ingredient in the samples of treated cellulose, is suffi cient to preclude sporegermination of these same species (actually killing spores of some). 2007 artículo científico 1534-2581 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=68519202 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=685 Micología Aplicada International application/pdf Colegio de Postgraduados Micología Aplicada International (México) Num.2 Vol.19 |
