I have been offered deodorization with hydroxyl radicals as part of a package of treatments to decontaminate documents contaminated with insects and mold. At the moment, I don't have the specifics of the equipment used by this company. I am inclined to reject this option, since I don't know how it might react with materials, and because it does not sound like it will guarantee destruction of embedded mold. Does anyone have direct experience with the use of this method on 20th century printed paper or photographic materials?
