. . . as does the "steam" that falls as rain. Scientists tell us that rain carries pollen, spores, bacteria, viruses, and more. A few years ago I read a rather long and fascinating article about that topic. I'd had no idea at all.

Epidemiologists are aware of and concerned with the phenomenon. People who study bioterrorism have given the matter some thought as well -- scary thought.

Of course, some of the rain-particle formation may be of airborne bits encased in water vapor high up in the sky, rather than being carried up from evaporation.

Quite a lot I don't know about all that, too . . .

Don't know that it would, if one used a wide container and if the boiling were vigorous and the steam rose rapidly. . . in shipboard water distillers sediment rises up and gets into pipes and cruds up the whole evaporative distillation system so badly that periodic descaling is necessary. Thus we know that the steam carries up that which is distilled from the falling pure water. . .

"Distillation" leaves ions and particles as a residue in the container.

And one step further: why not boil EIS in the oven? If vigorously boiled the steam would carry particles/ions of EIS into all the nooks and crannies of the oven . . .

Just curious, and not quibbling, but given that this group is devoted to EIS, why not use that? Might it not be less oxidative?

Taking things one step further: mightn't sunlight do the job? If one can spray something onto the components, sunlight might also reach them. I have read that 48 hours of sunlight on PET-bottled water renders it fit to drink -- the poor man's last-ditch water purification system.

 Kathryn,
You should consider Malcolms suggestion about using bleach. It is a great disinfectant and does dissipate leaving no residue. It generally isn't used for electronics because it is an oxidant and can corrode metals but if you dry the microwave in a reasonable time it should be no problem. One approach might be to:
