while developing a portable NO2 generator
( for use in biological water treatment
operating on air - or on air plus a 25-percent NH3 solution )
we were surprised by the curative a n d preventive
effects a mixture of NO and NO2 (e.g. 200-1000 ppm)
seems to have on some fungi and insects.

in cooperation with the
Bundesanstalt fuer Holz- und Forstwirtschaft / Hamburg
we shall - beginning next week - run preliminary systematic tests
using e.a. merulius lacrymans and five "relatives"

who has already wasted thoughts and funds on this subject ?
there is no trace of any research done here in Germany

we are only fluent in English, deutsch and francais
but shall be grateful for any hint in any language
