Scanning the moldy slides is not an option, since he does
own such a
device, but wouldn't that add the risk of contaminating
other slides
and film with mold and ruin them in the future?

I think that is an important point. The mold would be
likely to infect the scanner. Mold is very difficult to get
rid of once it gets started. There _are_ substances which
kill mold but they are extremely toxic to people too. Again,
I recommend talking to an expert conservator to find out the
latest thinking on this.
