EFFECT OF LIGHT ON THE AGING, CORROSION, AND DEGRADATION OF MATERIALS, IN RELATION TO THE ENHANCED REMOVAL OF ORGANIC POLLUTANTS
A review on advanced photochemical processes influencing properties of materials is presented. Particular emphasis is given on photolytic processes for the removal of pollutants. Separately are presented methods for the removal of biological pollution. Major concern is paid to the methods for removal of persistent chemical pollutants. Two major...

PHOTOCHEMICAL ACTIVATION OF AIR POLLUTANTS, RELATED TO THE PRESERVATION OF CULTURAL HERITAGE
It is well known that the exposition to air and weather markedly enhances derogation of all artifacts. In this report, the contribution of light (particularly sunlight) to marked speed-up of the oxidation and other changes by exposition to atmosphere will be analyzed. Five major mechanisms of the effect of insolation can be identified: 1. First is ...
