“…This is because temperature changes in the chemical corrosion disease process of stone cultural relics affect the condensation and evaporation of water, expansion and contraction, and chemical reactions between soluble substances and alkaline gases (alkaline compounds). This ultimately leads to changes in the internal structure and composition of the artifacts, which in turn leads to the change of cultural relics micro-strain [4]. Therefore, in-situ accurate detection of temperature and micro-strain changes of cultural relics can provide an important reference for revealing the mechanism and law of stone cultural relics disease.…”

“…Particulate matter (PM) can induce disease symptoms in humans, through inhalation and can also cause aesthetic degradation of different materials (textiles being the most sensitive), especially if calcite accumulations are present [ 45 , 46 ]. High concentrations of VOCs, depending on the organic compounds contained, can cause various degradations of objects, as well as health problems for people; among these, HCHO, together with strong oxidants (such as O 3 ), can oxidize into AcOH right on the surface of the objects [ 47 , 48 ]. AcOH is known to affect metals, glass, cellulose, pigments in paintings, etc.…”

Poor air quality inside museums can have a double effect; on the one hand, influencing the integrity of the exhibits and on the other hand, endangering the health of employees and visitors. Both components can be very sensitive to the influence of the internal microclimate, therefore careful monitoring of the physical parameters and pollutants is required in order to maintain them within strict limits and thus to reduce the hazards that can be induced. The current study considers the determination and analysis of 15 indicators of the internal microclimate in an Art Nouveau museum built at the beginning of the 20th century in the Municipality of Oradea, Romania. The monitoring spanned a period of seven months, between September 2021 and March 2022, targeting three rooms of the museum with different characteristics and containing exhibits with a high degree of fragility. The results show that, although there are numerous indicators that have exceeded the thresholds induced by international standards, the possible negative impact on the exhibits and/or on human health remains moderate. This is due to the fact that, most of the time, exceeding the permitted limits are small or only sporadic, the values quickly returning to the permitted limits. Thus, only 22 of the 212 days of monitoring recorded marginal conditions regarding the quality of the indoor air, the rest having acceptable and good conditions. To improve the indoor conditions, a more careful management is needed, especially regarding the values of temperature, humidity, particulate matters, natural and artificial light, volatile organic compounds (VOC) and formaldehyde (HCHO), which during the measurements recorded high values that fluctuated in a wide spectrum. The obtained results can represent the basis for the development and implementation of long-term strategies for stabilizing the microclimatic conditions in the museum in order to preserve the exhibits preventively and to ensure a clean and safe environment for people.
