Therefore, the arising interest by the international community to indoor-outdoor relationships has led to the development of various techniques for the study of emission and e...

Indoor air pollution in museums: a review of prediction models and control strategies

The calculation of pollution mass balances is explained with reference to modelling indoor air quality in museums, and the implication of pollution deposition on building interior and museum objects is discussed. A short overview of the museum environments key pollutants and their effect on materials are given. Case studies, which compare buildings with and without air-filtration, old and new b...
