Alice Boccia Paterakis investigates the impact of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in museums and galleries, focusing on acetic and formic acids emitted by materials like wood, adhesives, and sealants. Drawing on research conducted across museum collections, the author documents the damaging effects of VOCs on inorganic objects and offers practical guidance on conservation treatments, safer display and storage materials, and environmental monitoring. The book is an essential resource for preserving collections vulnerable to indoor pollutants.
