Museums
The effect of Time over Works of Art.
Museums contribute to the conservation of works of art , protecting a priceless historical and cultural heritage. Therefore, it is essential that museums have the best conditions to preserve the artistic creation, immortalizing the works of art as well as their authors, who contributed so much to the history of cities and countries.
But in Nature everything has its life cycle. And works of art also suffer from weather conditions, which affect their original look and beauty.
Works of art can be affected over the years by the following factors:
Fungi
Presented in the form of stains with different colorations, which usually develop and multiply in the form of circles, damaging the image and changing the pH.
Water stains
By direct action or by damp weather that absorbs dust, penetrating in the paper.
Tears and Holes
Caused by termites and moths, sometimes opening "tracks" on the paper.
Fungus spores are always present in the air and on objects. When the room temperature and humidity are suitable for germination, the fungus spores germinate and start to grow, contaminating books, clothes, documents and works of art. Mold or mildew can also have an adverse effect on people. Many fungi can severely irritate and inflame the lungs, causing irritation to the skin and eyes, as well as infections. Prolonged exposure to active mold in a closed area can damage the lungs, mucous membranes, cornea, respiratory tract, stomach, intestines and skin.
AIRFREE® AIR PURUFIERS are up to 99% efficient in destroying airborne mold spores, bacteria, viruses, ozone, mite and dust allergens, and other airborne allergens derived from animals and pollen, and they are major allies in increasing quality of life through the air we breathe.
Specific benefits in Museums:
- Conservation of art collections;
- Health and comfort of visitors and employees;
- Prevention of lawsuits resulting from poor air quality;
- Increased employee productivity and reduced absenteeism;
How do they work?
They dramatically reduce air pollution by burning the microorganisms. As a result, the contaminated air is drawn into the Airfree® ceramic core and destroyed at high temperatures. This air purification cycle is silent, requires no maintenance and is guaranteed by numerous tests.
