#12: Air Systems Designed to Counter Chemical Threats
A museum’s air has to be cleaner than most visitors realize. Paintings, metals, paper, textiles, photographs, and archaeological objects can be damaged by pollutants, chemical vapors, smoke, humidity, and airborne particles. Specialized filtration systems can reduce harmful compounds before they settle onto surfaces or react with fragile materials. In some areas, sensors monitor air quality and help staff respond when the composition changes.
