Resumo
Degradation of organic and especially cellulose based heritage is caused by both endogenous
and exogenous factors. One of the most common exogenous factor is moisture, and the
variation of the equilibrium moisture content of the material can initiate the development
of mold in the substrate. Mold not only affects cellulose materials, but is also impacts
occupational health and thus should be rendered inactive as soon as possible. Doing
nothing is not an option because active mold (even dormant) may deteriorate cellulose
based heritage easily, while its wake-up call, i.e., an atmospheric moisture increase, can
occur easily.
Much work has been performed on the application of
-radiation and therefore it is well
accepted in, e.g., the food industry and for medical device sterilization. However for cultural
heritage application, discussions are still on-going as ionizing radiation may be capable
of deteriorating organic materials. Compared to conventional disinfection with chemicals,
-radiation can be seen as a clean disinfection method as no harmful volatiles are emitted
after the treatment with full effectiveness on deteriorating the mold species.
In the past decade, many heritage science research programmes world-wide were dedicated
to the application of ionizing radiation for disinfection and conservation. The research
varied from optimization of the treatment to understanding of deterioration mechanisms,
and in 2012 for the first time, an IAEA supported event was held in São Paulo, Brazil. The
IAEA now supports a new research network dedicated to this topic aiming to solve final
research gaps and produce well accepted recommendations.
This paper reviews not only the state-of-the-art of international developments on the application
of ionizing radiation for cultural heritage for both disinfection and conservation, but
includes a summary of show-cases. For example, the disinfection of the Library collection
of the Peace Palace, the Hague (Netherlands) and conservation of a XVIIIth century parquet,
Grenoble (France). Finally a novel book dedicated to the topic of this presentation,
supported by the IAEA, shall be introduced.
