Air Quality Monitoring At Historic Sites: Redefining an Environmental Classification System for Gaseous Pollution
Ten years ago environmental reactivity coupons (ERCs) were used in a study (Museum Campaign) to assess air quality in and around many cultural heritage sites in Italy. Analysis of the resulting reactivity monitoring database showed that outdoor air quality did not (generally) meet specified acceptance criteria for gaseous pollutants. Also, in a significant number of locations, indoor air was deemed unacceptable for these environments.Citation: ASHRAE Journal, Vol. 47, No. 8
