Widjaja [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, October 01, 2011 7:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [HERBARIA] fumigation for tropical country Dear all, We are having problem in our herbarium (the Herbarium Bogoriense) which now based in Cibinong, Bogor. We have moved from the Bogor city to the Bogor subdistrict few years ago. Since we move to the new building we did not make any fumigation. The reason is the old chemical used in previous fumigation make the walls spotted and dark (it should be white before the fumigation). Beside that we have to close all the electricity equipment including light and switch also. I am writing this to get an information especially from the tropical herbaria which chemical is safe for environment, to fumigate the specimens? We also do refrigerate the specimens, but for several families this effort do not work well. When you give us the chemical name (in trade), please provide also the place where we can buy those chemical. I am looking forward to hear from you, we really need urgently to keep our specimens not getting worse. Best wishes, Elizabeth A.
