Hello Mike, If you search on the company Odor Science you should find some packets that are good for a 30 day time release of ClO2. They are activated by humidity in the room. I believe it takes about 40% to get them working, but I am not sure what the exact number is.
A creative use involves the shower area. When you take a shower, the humidity in the bathroom goes up. This rise in humidity activates the packet and any opportunistic mold and mildew is greated with ClO2 gas that quickly kills it. Once the shower is over and the humidity is removed from the room, the packet shuts off.
