Relative humidity, moisture content and temperature are interrelated. Biological hazards of distribution Biodeterioration is caused by living organisms, most commonly bacteria, moulds, insects, birds and rodents. 6. Control of rodents and birds can generally be achieved by maintaining clean storage conditions. Since moisture is the basic need of both bacteria and moulds, exclusion of moisture is the most fundamental method of controlling these organisms. This can be done using packaging with a sealed moisture-resistant barrier, if the contents are dry enough to preclude condensation.
