Abstract

Discusses how factors in controlled and uncontrolled environments contribute to certain types of damage on culturally meaningful objects. The author affirms that a better understanding of these factors will improve the effectiveness of preventive conservation, and further asserts that these factors should be studied so as to propose thresholds, guidelines or standards for improving environmental control and monitoring procedures. For example, the study of thermodynamic and kinetic processes between the environment and materials can optimize the models for proposing deterioration mechanisms. The article presents a table with some of the factors that influence deterioration processes, such as erosion, soiling, thermal decomposition and hygrometric stress. In addition, the article discusses how damage, classified by the mode in which it occurs, can be organised into the three broader categories of impulse, dose and cyclic processes.
