Getting rid of the anthrax. The most thorough way to sterilize an affected building is supposed to be by using formaldehyde gas, which is how the British cleaned up Gruinard Island, off the coast of Scotland, after it tested anthrax weapons there in 1942. Of course formaldehyde is toxic and leaves a foul smell for weeks besides corroding electrical appliances. (It reminds me of anatomy dissection classes back several decades ago.<g>)(Also of what happens if you ever stored in a room chlorine products used for pool's water.<g>) EnviroFoam Technologies, of Huntsville, Ala.,has a foam that reportedly is "very effective" in killing anthrax spores within 10 to 60 minutes. Does any body know of other companies that have similar products ? Reportedly NBC has hired CLHB for sterilizing the affected areas at their N.Y. offices. Also companies to take into consideration on this sector besides the ones with decontamination chemicals are those that manufacture the protective suits and masks. Reportedly some of those disposable suits cost around $700 Bernard
