Guest guest Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 After several months of fierce battling with my parents over the future of one insignificant but contaminated chair, I finally got the " permission " to throw it away. (sigh) In short, the chair is still VERY contaminated with mycotoxins and probably with living mold spores. I would like to get rid of it, but I would not like anyone else to take it from the garbage (and it is bound to happen if I leave it as it is beside some trash can, since it looks " normal " ). I live in a building in a tightly populated town, and there are virtually no fields or open places where one could leave contaminated things and be sure that nobody will ever touch them. But, there is one patch of grass field that's very close to the place I live. At first, while I was thinking how to permanently destroy it, I got an idea that it would be best if I took the chair to that field, poured some grain alcohol onto it, and set it on fire (and hope that it burns down really quickly and nobody sees me while I'm doing it - it's certainly not illegal but people might think I'm crazy and call the cops). Is inceration a good method of destroying mold contaminated furniture? I suppose fire probably won't destroy the mycotoxins, but at least nobody will be able to use it anymore. Or do I risk much greater misfortune, because fire might only vaporize the mycotoxins and spread them to a much wider area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
