The MEMORI Dosimeter

Two ”glasses” sensitive to air pollutants and climate

5 cm

Museum of Cultural

History, Oslo

1. Acidic effects

2. Photo-

oxidation

3 months exposure

Measurement in a portable reader

1. Start measurement (before mounting of dosimeter)

2. Results measurement (after demounting of dosimeter) 4

How, why, when do

MEMORI measurements How: User guide and Technical manual

are available from web pages.

Why: Assess risk

for degradation

of your objects /

materials.

When: - Possible or

unknown risk. Time of year is important. 5

Example:

Center of Madrid.

At trafficked road.

Background and near traffic pollutants from outdoor

Application of MEMORI - IAQ evaluation

Indoor location Some (but not all?) objects are glassed / in micro climate frames

- protection from gaseous and particulate pollution.

No windows - artificial lighting.

Air exchange with other rooms.

Air condition with RH / T control.

Mitigation

Detailed description of why and how to:

1. Reduce pollutant concentration, by:

Avoid

Block

Dilute

Sorb:

Filter

2. Reduce relative humidity.

3. Reduce oxygen concentration.

4. Retest air quality (measurement). 20
