Resumo: | Environmental monitoring is essential for the proper preservation of natural materials in museums, both in exhibition halls and storerooms. Deterioration and degradation of natural materials occur when deviations from neutral pH conditions take place as a consequence of pollution, visitors, non-professional interventions, unsuitable storage conditions, catastrophes, or vandalism. Simple techniques to measure the extent of acidic or alkaline gasses in the museum atmosphere are therefore important, especially in storerooms where objects are placed for long periods. Sol-gel pH sensors have been synthesized and applied for monitoring storerooms of the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales of Madrid (Spain). pH monitoring was carried out for one year under different meteorological seasons. Most of the storage systems monitored maintained a neutral pH, while some of them were slightly acidic. These acidic conditions could favour chemical deterioration on organic structures of naturalized animals, and cause acidic corrosion in minerals and inorganic parts of the objects. |

Deterioration and degradation of natural materials occur when deviations from neutral pH conditions take place as a consequence of pollution, visitors, non-professional interventions, unsuitable storage conditions, catastrophes, or vandalism. Simple techniques to measure the extent of acidic or alkaline gasses in the museum atmosphere are therefore important, especially in storerooms where objects are placed for long periods. Sol-gel pH sensors have been synthesized and applied for monitoring storerooms of the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales of Madrid (Spain). pH monitoring was carried out for one year under different meteorological seasons. Most of the storage systems monitored maintained a neutral pH, while some of them were slightly acidic. These acidic conditions could favour chemical deterioration on organic structures of naturalized animals, and cause acidic corrosion in minerals and inorganic parts of the objects.A monitorização ambiental é essencial para a preservação adequada dos materiais naturais nos museus, tanto em salas de exposição como em reserva. Os materiais naturais deterioram--se quando ocorrem desvios das condições neutras de pH, decorrentes de poluição, visitantes, intervenções não profissionais, condições inadequadas de armazenamento, catástrofes ou vandalismo. Desta forma, é importante existirem técnicas simples para medir a quantidade de compostos ácidos ou alcalinos na atmosfera de um museu, especialmente nas reservas, onde os objetos são mantidos por longos períodos. No presente estudo, foram sintetizados e aplicados sensores de pH sol-gel para monitorização das reservas do Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales de Madrid (Espanha), ao longo de um ano. A maioria dos sistemas de acondicionamento monitorizados mantiveram um pH neutro, no entanto alguns apresentaram-se ligeiramente ácidos. Estas condições ácidas podem favorecer reações de deterioração química nos materiais orgânicos dos animais naturalizados, bem como causar corrosão ácida em minerais e componentes inorgânicos dos objetos.ARP - Associação Profissional de Conservadores-Restauradores de Portugal2022-11-24info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://doi.org/10.14568/cp25721eng2182-99421646-043XAgua, FernandoGarvía, Angel LuisBarreiro, JosefinaMorales-Martín, DanielGarcía-Heras, ManuelVillegas, Maria-Angelesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-01-03T02:30:27Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/25721Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T15:49:15.536759Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |

Environmental monitoring is essential for the proper preservation of natural materials in museums, both in exhibition halls and storerooms. Deterioration and degradation of natural materials occur when deviations from neutral pH conditions take place as a consequence of pollution, visitors, non-professional interventions, unsuitable storage conditions, catastrophes, or vandalism. Simple techniques to measure the extent of acidic or alkaline gasses in the museum atmosphere are therefore important, especially in storerooms where objects are placed for long periods. Sol-gel pH sensors have been synthesized and applied for monitoring storerooms of the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales of Madrid (Spain). pH monitoring was carried out for one year under different meteorological seasons. Most of the storage systems monitored maintained a neutral pH, while some of them were slightly acidic. These acidic conditions could favour chemical deterioration on organic structures of naturalized animals, and cause acidic corrosion in minerals and inorganic parts of the objects. |
