Museums & Archives
Indoor air quality is a primary concern for Museums & Archives as indoor air can be five times more polluted than the outside air. Controlling and mitigating exposure to gaseous contaminants and particulate is important for successful preservation of historic documents, artifacts, metals, photographs, and architecture. These contaminants will cause sensitive items to discolour, deteriorate and degrade at an increased rate. Deteriorate and degradation may result in loss of valuable assets, funding, and reputation.
Common gases found that negatively affect sensitive items include hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, formaldehyde, ozone, and halogens.
