空气质量是保护文化遗产的一个重要因素。大部份文物保育计划都要求进行系统的空气质素评估。然而，除了温度和相对湿度之外，空气污染是另一个空气质量参数，很少受到监测。在空气污染数据缺乏令人担忧的发展中国家和新兴经济体，情况尤其如此，但不仅如此。本文综述了发展中国家和新兴经济体遗产地的空气污染监测问题，从管理到技术。来自非洲、亚洲和拉丁美洲20多个地点的问卷调查结果显示，10个地点中约有8个尚未考虑污染数据。这些反应还表明，成本并不是唯一的障碍，缺乏意识和技术专长不足也是重大问题。不同的可能的解决方案进行审查，并讨论其适当性。它们的范围从系统监测到基于模型的估计。本文报道并讨论了11个地点的二氧化硫、二氧化氮和臭氧的扩散管测量结果。
Air quality is an important factor in the preservation of cultural heritage. Systematic air quality assessment is a requirement in most heritage conservation plans. However, apart from temperature and relative humidity, air pollution, which is another air quality parameter, is less often monitored. This is the case especially, but not only, in developing and emerging economies where the lack of air pollution data is worrying. In this paper, issues with air pollution monitoring at heritage sites in developing and emerging economies, from management to technical, are reviewed. Questionnaire responses from over 20 sites in Africa, Asia, and Latin America reveal that about eight out of ten sites have not yet considered pollution data. The responses also show that cost is not the only obstacle but that lack of awareness and insufficient technical expertise are also significant issues. Different possible solutions are reviewed and their appropriateness discussed. They range from systematic monitoring to model-based estimations. Diffusion tube measurements of sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and ozone from 11 sites are reported and discussed.
