| Abstract | Summary In the previous ERA (Environmental Research for Art Conservation, contract no. EV5V-CT94-0548) project, paint-based dosimetry was shown to work. The degree of physicochemical damage in the paint resulting from exposure of these dosimeters for a selected time and in various galleries was found to be consistent with the indoor environmental conditions at these sites. In the MIMIC project (Microclimate Indoor Monitoring in Cultural Heritage Preservation, contract no. EVKV-CT-2000-00040) further exposure of paint dosimeters is made at galleries and historic castles in Northern and Southern European locations where indoor environmental conditions are also monitored in terms of relative humidity, temperature, light, and pollutants (NO 2 ,NOx, SO 2 , ozone, HONO and HNO 3 ). Furthermore, in the MIMIC project the concept of paint dosimetry is extended to incorporate coatings (egg tempera, varnish) applied to 10MHz piezoelectric quartz crystals. An array of these coated crystals is then used to continuously monitor the physicochemical change in the coating, involving mass change, in terms of frequency shift in the crystals. Coated crystals also undergo calibration in a test rig with controlled environmental conditions. |
