This bibliography was initially prepared in May 2002 by Bruno Pouliot, with the collaboration and assistance of Linda Lennon, Winterthur Class of 1997, who then served as Assistant Conservator on different projects at Winterthur Museum and for WUDPAC. Responsibility for the bibliography was passed to Dr. Joelle Wickens in 2009. It is constantly updated and your suggestions for new sources are welcome.

The Effect of Ventilation, Filtration and Passive Sorption on Indoor Air Quality in Museum Storage Rooms.
Ryhl-Svendsen, M., and G. Clausen.
2009 – Studies in Conservation 54(1):??
A study was conducted in five storage rooms at the National Museum of Denmark, in which the effect on indoor air quality of mechanical ventilation, filtration and passive sorption was investigated. A cautious conclusion is that a combination of a low air exchange rate and internal recirculation with filtration will be most beneficial to the indoor air quality for such low-activity storage buildings.

Airborne Pollutants in Museums, Galleries and Archives: Risk Assessment, Control Strategies, and Preservation Management
T?treault, J.
2003 – Ottawa, ON: Canadian Conservation Institute.
This book attempts to define the key airborne pollutants for indoor museum environments and provide some basic tools to assess the risk to collections exposed to these pollutants. It also establishes guidelines for control strategies that give flexible, pragmatic solutions and provides a simple tool for cost-benefit analyses that can fulfill the principles and policy of individual museums. It is an ideal reference for anyone (e.g. museum directors, building and collection managers, conservation professionals, material scientists, exhibit designers, HVAC engineers, indoor air consultants, and architects) involved in making decisions regarding the preservation of collections.
