Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Icom Committee for Conservation 5th Triennial Meeting, Zagreb, 1-8 October 1978: Preprints
The preservation of painting in monuments of architecture depends much on the temperature-dampness regime of the constructions (brick or stone walls, stucco layer). The regime, in its turn, depends on se neral climate conditions, air pollution, level of sub soil waters and content of salts in them, the degree of salting of the building materials and especially the temperature-dampness regime in the building.
While studying the reasons of the destruction of monumental painting it should always be borne in mind that most of the destructions of stucco and layer of paint is due to fluid moisture, ice or water steam.
Up to date the problem related to the constant flow of water near the walls of unheated monuments still remains. The situation is somewhat different with the temperature-dampness regime in the heated buildings. Unfortunately, the problem of limiting variations in the relative humidity of air and its temperature in the monuments of architecture with murals still re mains unsolved.
