Subject: New book on pollutants in museums and archives We are pleased to add "Airborne Pollutants in Museums, Galleries and Archives: Risk Assessment, Control Strategies, and Preservation Management" to our series of publications. This book written by Jean Tetreault attempts to define the key airborne pollutants for indoor museum environments and provide some basic tools to assess the risk to collections exposed to these pollutants. It also establishes guidelines for control strategies that give flexible, pragmatic solutions and provides a simple tool for cost-benefit analyses that can fulfil the principles and policy of individual museums. It will be an ideal reference for anyone (e.g. museum directors, building and collection managers, conservation professionals, material scientists, exhibit designers, HVAC engineers, indoor air consultants, and architects) involved in making decisions regarding the preservation of collections. Airborne Pollutants in Museums, Galleries, and Archives provides principles and strategies to answer the questions “What are the major pollutant problems in museums?” and “What are the most efficient methods to solve them?” Priority actions are evaluated to ensure that efforts are balanced between available resources and potential benefits. The goals of this book are to: - define key airborne pollutants for indoor museum environments - supply tools based on the exposure–effect relationship to assess the risk to the collection exposed to pollutants - establish guidelines for control strategies that give flexible, pragmatic solutions - offer guidelines for assessing the degree of protection of the collections - provide a basic tool for cost–benefit analysis that fulfils the principles and the policy of the museum - propose an investigative approach for evaluating the degree of preservation of a collection in terms of the aggressiveness of pollutants and for identifying causes of damages ISBN 0-662-34059-0 21.5 x 28 cm (8.5 x 11"), paperback, 168 pp. In Canada: CAN $50 - Other countries US$50 This publication can be ordered through the Bookstore of our Web site at https://www.cci-icc.gc.ca/bookstore/index-e.cfm or by contacting our Publications Sales Office at (613) 998-3721, ext. 250.
