First announcement and call for abstracts:

8th Indoor Air Quality 2008 Meeting (IAQ2008)
Vienna, 17th - 19th April 2008
Kunsthistorisches Museum


Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is a workshop series that is devoted to reporting and discussing the progress in the field of indoor air quality related research in museums, archives and collections. The meetings provide an informal, yet highlevel, trans-disciplinary forum for the discussion of new scientific results on corrosion and degradation mechanisms due to indoor air pollution as well as strategies for air quality monitoring and mitigation - with particular emphasis on novel dosimeter or sensor systems. We cordially invite you to participate in this highly stimulating and practically oriented meeting and would be pleased to welcome you to the IAQ2008 workshop in Vienna coming spring!
