HARMFUL MATERIALS IN THE ENVIRONMENT OF THE ART OBJECTS

Abstracts: The approach towards conservation in the museums of the world has undergone severe changes in the last decades: preventive conservation has achieved equal importance with the interventive ’’active conservation.” Particular care is taken of the handling and the environment of the objects including the materials used in storages and exhibition rooms and showcases.

The author of the study groups these materials into two groups: the group of the ’’forbidden” and the one of the ’’permitted” materials. She describes the processes, which lead to the liberation of damaging gases from materials, such as wood, cardboard, textiles, glues and other storage or exhibition materials. A collection of useful tests including artificial ageing tests is provided for those who would like to carry out investigations when selecting these materials. At the end of the study, she introduces a few methods for preventing the harmful gases to contact the object.

The references of the study can be taken as a selected bibliography of the subject.
