These studies, carried out during the period 1940–2, were undertaken to test the relative merits of hypochlorous acid gas and sprayed solutions of sodium hypochlorite, when these systems are used as aerial disinfectants, and to ascertain the factors determining their efficiencies in this capacity. The ulterior motive was the use of such systems as a counter measure against the danger of air-borne infection. The more practical aspects of their large-scale application, in shelters and other compartments, have been the province of others of our colleagues and will be reported upon separately.
