Monitoring for Gaseous Pollutants in Museum Environments. Tools for Conservation Series.
Grzywacz, C. M.
2006 – Los Angeles: Getty Conservation Institute.
This book is a great complement to the two other publications on pollutants (T?treault 2003, Hatchfield 2002) and serves to fill the knowledge gap on the current state of research on pollutants, while provides many great suggestions for efficient and affordable monitoring programs based on the type of pollutants and the resources available.
