Abstract
1. Iodine vapour at a readily tolerable concentration of 0·1 mg./cu.ft. of air gives a rapid kill of freshly sprayed salivary organisms at humidities above 50 %.2. At the same concentration dry bacteria are not as readily killed, the killing rate only becoming appreciable above 70 % R.H.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
