Bleach does NOT kill mold !
If you've ever experienced spraying mold with bleach only to see it return over and over again, this might explain why. This Oregon State University Study  measured the effectiveness of bleach against mold on Wood.

"While bleach is often recommended for remediation of surface mold on wood and other porous surfaces, our study results illustrate that the treatment does not eliminate the surface micro flora," is the conclusion of the Oregon State University study of the effects of chlorine bleach on mold growth on Douglas fir wood [an important timber crop in the state of Oregon].

The research study was conducted by Professor Jeffrey Morrell, Dept. of Wood Science, Oregon State University, as assisted by Adam Taylor [graduate research assistant] and Camille Freitag [Senior Research Associate]

Wi-Fi ... Should we be worried ?
London Times
Concern about the safety of wireless networks is mounting, with people blaming everything from headaches to cancer on the technology

It started as a low murmur, and has now risen to a persistent hum. Thanks partly to a lively correspondence in the pages of The Times, the debate about the safety of wireless networks is gathering momentum.
