Biodeterioration Risk Assessment in Libraries by Airborne Fungal Spores.

Fungal growth on cellulose-based materials in libraries can have detrimental effects on books and documents. This biodeterioration affects their physical, chemical, and esthetical characteristics. Thus, this work aimed to assess fungal aerosols' concentrations and biodeterioration risk in two public libraries with artificial ventilation: the Banco de la República and CAJAMAG libraries.
