Abstract:
Diffusive sampling can be adopted to analyse in detail the temporal and spatial trends of pollutants concentration in specific historic buildings or in museums. An application of this method is discussed in this paper and the results of a still ongoing monitoring campaign at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, in the framework of an EU-founded Project (MIMIC), are presented. Distinct trends in the concentration of NO2, NOx, HONO, HNO3, O3 and SO2 have been observed in eight successive sampling periods from March 2001 to February 2002. Considerations are given on possible implications for the conservation of indoor artworks.
