Air quality in bounded environments

Abstract

Some measurements were made on the total suspended particulate (PTS) and on the fraction PM 10 of dusts within some environments, in particular in cultural institutes such us the State Archives in Rome, Florence and Rimini. The aim is not only to highlight the alteration-degradation of the above-said dusts on the manufactures placed and kept there, but also to quantify the polluting substance that can be inhaled by any guest of the Archive during his or her normal working activity, respecting the limits defined by the law for human protection.
