The amount of remediation work depends on the result of our analysis of the damage and the microbiological test results.
What happens to the archival material?
A gentle form of restoration of the material can mean a simple external cleansing method. If, however, in inner rooms a strong, possibly toxic, intolerable species of mould can be identified then other measures need to be taken. In this case sterilisation through irradiation is called for, the harmful allergenic mycelium is removed mechanically and the material transferred to another location, if necessary.
