Concrete dust

From: Johann Alcock <jalcock>
Date: Wednesday, November 25, 1998
We are currently researching the effect of concrete dust on storage
products, oils on canvas and object collections.  There appears to
be very little written on this topic.  Has anyone had experience
with collections that have been affected by concrete dust?  What are
the issues that need to be considered in their treatment?   Where
paper based storage materials are affected by concrete dust is it
possible to clean them effectively or is it best to replace them?
Any help would be appreciated.
