Russian Documentary on Mold and Mir

[Guest guest]

We are making progress on translating this documentary about mold and the Mir space station. It is wildly more than we initially expected. Here are some out takes:In ancient China wood used in construction was soakedin a solution of table salt to protect against mold.In his bid for world conquest The Great ordered his troops to cover the wooden supports of bridgeswith olive oil so that they would not sucumb to mold.Research over the last 10 years has uncoveredmold, even in such remote placesas the ice of Antarctica. Where it can remain activeeven 100 meeters down into the ice.They have actually brought Aspergillus, Penicillium and Cladosporium onto the ISS with some very interesting experimental results. We will offer IAQA the chance to show this 90 documentary at the Las Vegas conference in March. It will also be available on our website later this year. Bob
