Development of a Web-based software tool for predicting the occurrence and effect of air pollutants inside museum buildings.
Blades N., D. Kruppa, and M. Cassar.
2002 – ICOM Committee for Conservation. Preprints of the 13th Triennial Meeting. Rio de Janeiro. 1:9-14.
This is a description of the development of a very promising software tool that will help museums and libraries deal with damage caused by outside pollutants. It is hoped that this tool will be freely accessible through the Web. It is based on an evaluation of the building parameters and how efficient they are in controlling external pollutants.
