A study of biohazard protection for farming modules of lunar base CELSS.
For the Closed Ecological Life Support System (CELSS) of a manned lunar base which is planned to be built on the moon early in the 21st century, several proposed programs exist to grow vegetables inside a farming module.  At the 40th IAF (Malaga, 1989) the author et al presented a proposal for supplying food and nutrients to a crew of eight members, a basic concept which is based on growing four kinds of vegetables.  This paper describes measures for biohazard protection in farming modules.  In this study, biohazard protection means prevention of the dispersion of plant diseases to other plant species or other portions of farming beds.
