The principal fungal species isolated from a contaminated library environment were tested for their microbial volatile organic compound (MVOC) production ability. Aspergillus creber, A. penicillioides, Cladosporium cladosporioides, Eurotium chevalieri, E. halophilicum, Penicillium brevicompactum and P. chrysogenum were cultivated on suitable culture media inside sample bottles specifically designed and created for direct MVOC injection to a GC-MS instrument. The fungal emissions were monitored over several weeks to detect changes with the aging of the colonies, monitored also by respirometric tests. A total of 55 different MVOCs were detected and isopropyl alcohol, 3-methyl-1-butanol and 2-butanone were the principal compounds in common between the selected fungal species. Moreover, 2,4-dimethylheptane, 1,4-pentadiene, styrene, ethanol, 2-methyl-1-butanol, acetone, furan and 2-methylfuran were the most detected compounds. For the first time, the MVOC production for particular fungal species was detected. The species A. creber, which belongs to the recently revised group Aspergillus section Versicolores, was characterized by the production of ethanol, furan and 1,4-pentadiene. For the xerophilic fungus E. halophilicum, specific production of acetone, 2-butanone and 1,4-pentadiene was detected, supported also by respirometric data. The results demonstrated the potential use of this method for the detection of fungal contamination phenomena inside Cultural Heritage's preservation environments.

“…A variety of VOCs are known to be emitted from paper and other cellulose-based materials during degradation (Emsley and Stevens, 1994;Lattuati-Derieux et al, 2004;Lattuati-Derieux et al, 2006;Dupont et al, 2007;Strlič et al, 2007;Ramalho et al, 2009). The resulting VOC emission patterns are known to be complex (Strlič and Kolar, 2008), however, a number of volatile organic compounds were recently identified as specific degradation markers using material degradomics (Strlič et al, 2009).…”

Volatile aldehydes are produced during degradation of paper-based materials. This may result in their accumulation in archival and library repositories. However, no systematic study has been performed so far. In the frame of this study, passive sampling was carried out at ten locations in four libraries and archives. Despite the very variable sampling locations, no major differences were found, although air-filtered repositories were found to have lower concentrations while a non-ventilated newspaper repository exhibited the highest concentrations of volatile aldehydes (formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, furfural and hexanal). Five employees in one institution were also provided with personal passive samplers to investigate employees' exposure to volatile aldehydes. All values were lower than the presently valid exposure limits.The concentration of volatile aldehydes, acetic acid, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in general was also compared with that of outdoor-generated pollutants. It was evident that inside the repository and particularly inside archival boxes, the concentration of VOCs and acetic acid was much higher than the concentration of outdoor-generated pollutants, which are otherwise more routinely studied in connection with heritage materials. This indicates that further work on the pro-degradative effect of VOCs on heritage materials is necessary and that monitoring of VOCs in heritage institutions should become more widespread.

“…Emissions of volatile organic compounds from degrading paper has become an interesting area of research and various studies on the identity [11], quantity and information content [12], and emission rates of volatile organic compounds [13] have recently been published. It is known that various aldehydes are formed as a consequence of cellulose degradation and reports have been published on more intensive emission of volatile organic compounds from freshly applied iron gall ink than from paper [14].…”

Stab., 95 (2010) In order to study the emissions, we employed gas chromatography / mass spectrometry following headspace micro-extraction, and liquid chromatography following hydroxyl radical scavenging with appropriate probes. We also studied chemiluminescence of cellulose affected by ink degradation.We showed that while the emissions of organic volatile degradation compounds by inks are less intensive than those of surrounding paper, ink does promote the M.

We were able to link this to emission of reactive oxygen species, probably hydrogen peroxide.
