Dust in Libraries
Mašková, Ludmila ; Smolík, Jiří
Indoor air pollution in libraries and archives can be harmful for materials stored there. Adverse effects of most of gaseous pollutants are well described, but less is known about dust. Dust particles cover a wide range of sizes and have a variable composition. These characteristics determine their transport to the surfaces and also possible harmful effects. Dust particles not only cause soiling, but coarse particles can damage surfaces by abrasion. Fine particles of acidic or alkaline character may penetrate into the books where they may cause chemical degradation or moistening due to their hygroscopicity. Dust particles in the indoor environment of libraries and archives are studied in a project which aim is a development of evaluation methods for indoor air quality, targeted at reduction of damages on archival collections caused by adverse effects of environment.

Basamatikum - Combined Wide Size Range Aerosol Spectromeeter
Ondráček, Jakub ; Mašková, Ludmila ; Smolík, Jiří
Combined wide size range aerosol spectrometer Basamatikum allows to measure particle number size distribution in a range between 20 nm – 20 μm. The instrument separates the measured aerosol particles into 58 size bins. The instrument can automatically switch the scanning between two sampling points (e.g. indoors and outdoors). It consists basically from two aerosol spectrometers (UFPM and APS), electrically actuated ball valve, sampling tubing with isokinetic subsampling to both of the two spectrometers and two sampling lines. The overall control, data logging and saving to file, the switching between sampling lines and the user interface is provided by the means of the LACP-made (Laboratory of Aerosol Chemistry and Physics) software in LabVIEW programming environment.

Air Quality in Different Types of Archives
Mašková, Ludmila ; Smolík, Jiří ; Ondráček, Jakub
Particulate matter (PM) and gaseous pollutants in libraries and archives can be harmful for materials stored there. The study includes indoor/outdoor monitoring of air quality in 4 archives, which representing different outdoor environments: Zlatá Koruna (rural), Třeboň (small city), Teplice (industrial area), and Prague (large city with traffic). The aim of this study is to investigate concentrations and sources of airborne PM and gaseous pollutants in the indoor environment of the archives, and to establish the relationship between the indoor and outdoor environment. The results indicated outdoor air as the most probable source of particles in the indoor environment of naturally ventilated archives at Zlatá Koruna, Třeboň and Teplice. The concentrations in the indoor environment in Prague are relatively constant and low, because the archive is equipped with a sophisticated filtration systém.

Air Quality in Different Types of Archives
Mašková, Ludmila ; Smolík, Jiří
The study includes indoor/outdoor monitoring of the air quality in four archives in the Czech Republic, which representing different outdoor environments: Zlatá Koruna (rural), Třeboň (small city with seasonal tourism), Teplice (industrial area), and Prague (large city with traffic). The aim of this study is to investigate concentrations and sources of airborne PM and gaseous pollutants in the indoor environment of the archives, and to establish the relationship between the indoor and outdoor environment. In 2012 the measurements were performed at Třeboň and Zlatá Koruna during 4 intensive campaigns in different seasons of the year.

Air Quality in the Indoor Environment of Libraries and Archives
Mašková, Ludmila ; Smolík, Jiří
The aim of this study is to investigate concentrations and sources of airborne PM and gaseous pollutants in the indoor environment of the archives, and to establish the relationship between the indoor and outdoor environment. In 2012 the measurements take place at Zlatá Koruna and Třeboň and in 2013 at Osek and Prague. The results indicated outdoor air as the most probable source of particles in the indoor environment of archives at Zlatá Koruna and Třeboň. The penetration of particles at Třeboň was higher than at Zlatá Koruna. These results were confirmed by measurements of ventilation rate, which was at Třeboň almost ten times higher than at Zlatá Koruna.

The Evaluation Methods for Indoor Air Quality in Libraries
Mašková, Ludmila ; Smolík, Jiří
The aim of the project is a development of evaluation methods for indoor air quality in libraries and archives, targeted at reduction of damages on archival collections caused by adverse effects of environment. The project includes indoor/ outdoor monitoring of gaseous pollutants and particulate matter (PM) at 4 different archives: Zlatá Koruna, Třeboň, Osek, and Prague, representing different outdoor environments: rural, small town with seasonal tourism, industrial area, and large city with traffic. The adverse effects of deteriorated environment will be studied by comparison of identical copies of books from these locations. Parallel to field studies the deterioration of paper caused by deposited PM will be studied at laboratory conditions. The air exchange rate and transport of pollutants in the indoor environment will be also investigated at all locations leading to precautions reducing the adverse effects of outdoor air pollution.

Deposition of Aerosol Particles on Filter Surfaces
Smolík, Jiří ; Mašková, Ludmila ; Zíková, Naděžda ; Ondráček, Jakub
The simple model showed that the particle penetration and deposition depend on particle size and width of the gap, with the depth of the penetration limited by parallel diffusional deposition on filter surfaces. Smaller particles penetrate faster and deeper resulting in higher particle number concentration of deposited particles but higher mass is transported by larger particles. The results of modelling have been qualitatively confirmed by Ion Chromatography using sulphate as marker for deposited particles.
