Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)
- Prevention The best means to prevent or control the spread of microorganism growth is to deny the spores the moisture necessary for germination.
- Odors in Carpet and/or Cushion When odors are present in carpet and cushion, microorganism growth is likely taking place.
- Microorganism growth is slowed with refrigeration, and stops with freezing, hence the use of cold temperatures for food storage.
- Foods containing this preservative are much healthier than non-preservative foods since harmfull microorganism growth is inhibited, food oxidation is prevented, and food nutrients are preserved.
- Porous materials such as fabrics (carpets), insulation, and wallboard can hold enough water after being flooded because of a leak or spill that the effect on microorganism growth is the same as standing water.
