Preserving History Scientifically: Chemical Methods in Monumental Conservation
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: In recent years, the preservation of cultural heritage has emerged as a global priority, as historical artifacts and monuments face constant threats of deterioration. Safeguarding these treasures requires effective solutions that can strengthen and maintain their natural appearance while preventing further damage. This study explores innovative approaches by introducing novel products with biocidal properties, specifically designed to counteract microbial activity. It also presents an updated overview of the most advanced nanomaterials currently employed in the restoration and protection of cultural heritage, AndThe use of traditional biocidal products in cultural heritage preservation has declined in recent years, largely due to their potential risks to both human health and the environment. As a result, researchers have increasingly focused on developing and testing innovative, eco-friendly alternatives that can effectively protect heritage assets while ensuring safety and sustainability.
