Inhalable and respirable dust concentration of soiled stone, metal and ceramic artefact inside National Museum Malaysia

The airborne particulate matter is a key indicator of air pollution brought into the air by a variety of natural and human activities. As it can travel in distances and suspended in the atmosphere, it affects human health and museum artifact. The primary idea of this paper is to discuss the mass co...
