Abstract

A serious problem facing museum professionals is the protection of collections from damage due to insects. This book describes successful insect eradication procedures developed at the Getty Conservation Institute and elsewhere whereby objects are held in an atmosphere of either nitrogen or argon containing less than 1000 ppm of oxygen - a process known as anoxia - or in an atmosphere of more than sixty percent carbon dioxide. Tehniques, materials, and operating parameters are described in detail. -- CCI=IC
