I have posted this message to the Cons DistList because the work may
be of interest to paper and photograph conservators.  There is
empirical evidence of extreme susceptibility of optical brighteners
to gas fading (probably ozone) when the OBAs are located in the ink
receptor layers of microporous inkjet papers.
