The Conservation of cultural Heritage

In museums, deploying an indoor air quality monitoring system in a simple and cost-effective way to undertake preventive conservation strategies. 

The deterioration of cultural heritage is the direct consequence of a biological, mechanical, and chemical degradation process. Ozone levels, particulate matter, and total organic compounds (TVOC) are the primary pollutants responsible for its acceleration.  

A dedicated, continuous air quality monitoring system empowers museum administrators to develop and implement procedures that minimize the impact of pollutants on the degradation process of artistic and cultural heritage.   

By observing the dynamics of indoor air quality in a specific environment, factoring parameters such as temperature, pressure, humidity and CO2 levels, it is also possible to determine what rooms present the fittest microclimatic conditions for the different types of artwork.
