“…Mould also favour with temperature between 59-86°F (15-30°C) and there are varieties of mould will grow outside of these limit [17,18]. While temperature below 10°C inhibit spore germination and above 50°C will dehydrate and kill fungi within a few hours [16].…”

Abstract. This paper attempt to give a brief insight into the importance of studying mould growth in library building that relates to human health and causes of material deterioration to library materials. It's significant to conduct this research because no similar study has carried out for a library building in Malaysia. Recent literature on the topics reviews to gain insight into developing a theoretical framework and research method. Likewise, the study also supports through pilot study questionnaires with 30 respondents from two different university libraries. The finding revealed to further investigation and mould growth assessment to be conducted that useful in protecting library materials and users health effects through environmental control.

“…The problem could be more serious than is suspected, for urban atmospheres contain several compounds that could be injurious to paper. 65 The possibility that certain metals may catalyze reactions of air pollutants with paper, or that some functional groups may cause paper to be more susceptible, cannot be overlooked. Nitrogen dioxide has been found to degrade cotton, partially acetylated cotton, 67 and cellulose acetate film.…”
