Exhibit Environmental Control and Monitoring Programs Environmental control and monitoring programs are necessary to reduce risk to exhibited objects. Two major sources of pollution are outdoor and indoor Outdoor pollutants, such as air-borne dust, nitrogen oxides, etc., can be reduced by filtration Indoor pollutants, such as dust, carbonyls , are generated from construction materials, adhesives, textiles, woods, paints and vanishes, etc., mitigation of indoor environment is necessary to control level of pollution to minimum.

Active tests analyze a quantity of air.
They are very accurate and provide detailed information of pollutants. They are expensive and require experts to interpret results. Passive tests, such as A-D strips , passive monitors, etc., can identify the presence of a pollutants. Reactive tests, such as Oddy test and commercial coupons , are inexpensive and easy. They won't identify specific pollutants nor the source of the pollutants, and they require some time to see the results.
