“…Among the researches concerning monitoring, controlling and prevention of the fungal deterioration of textile artifacts in the museum we mention those of Lazaridis et al, 2015 [3] and Kareem-Bbdel, 2010 [10] for Jordanian heritage and from Egypt; Spiros Zervosa et al, 2013 [11], about experimental design for the investigation of the environmental factors' effects on organic materials. Cavicchioli et al, 2014 [12] does a research on the particulate matter in the indoor environment of museum in the mega city of Sao Paolo; Kavkler et al, 2015 [13], about contamination of textile objects preserved in Slovene museums and religious institutions. Lech et al, 2015 [14], analyses microflora present on historical textiles with the use of molecular techniques.…”

The present paper is analyzing the quality of the air (temperature, humidity, light, contamination with fungi) inside the Museum House from Salacea, Bihor county, and the influence of such factors on textile materials that are exposed inside it in the context of the need to protect the heritage elements and in order to diminish the risks related to human health: the inhabitants, the tourists, museographers and all those who have access to the interior. Monitoring of the temperature and humidity was carried out between 03.06.2018 and 02.07.2018 and we used the thermo-hygrometer with data function logger KlimaLogg Pro (seven sensors), and for other analyzed parameters: Luxmeter data logger Extech SDL400 Oxygen meter Extech SDL150. The fungal contamination was determined using Koch sedimentation method. Due to the fact that the low temperature together with the high air humidity of the ambient environment stimulates the formation of microorganisms and mold and high temperatures can dehydrate the fibers by diminishing their strength and decreasing their elasticity, therefore it is necessary to maintain the standard micro climate of temperature and humidity inside the museum house.
