Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire

At the end of the course the student will acquire the basic knowledge of atmospheric chemical interactions on cultural properties resulting from past and present airborne pollution; connections between atmospheric composition, its historical evolution into a polluted environment as well as temporal trends will be discussed. Special focus will be given to the main gaseous pollutants and to ambient particulate matter as well as to their physico-chemical characterization in indoor and outdoor conditions. Gas-to particle reactions, oxidation processes in the atmosphere and their influence on the surfaces exposed will be described.

Contenuti

Composition of the atmosphere under natural and polluted conditions - Evolution of atmospheric composition in the course of time, environmental archives- Connection between air composition, air quality and climate - outdoor and indoor environments - reactive species in the air : acids and bases; oxidants; complexing agents - role of biogeochemistry - interactions with materials in artistic manufacts

Modalità di verifica e valutazione dell'apprendimento

The exam is based on a short presentation in PowerPoint prepared on research papers in the field of atmospgheric pollution and its effects on the wide range of materials used in Cultural heritage. The research paper from current scientific literature will be chosen by single candidates after check and approval by the teacher for consistency with the study curriculum. All the pupils will present their own 5-6 slides to the whole class under the teacher supervision in order to share as many as possible case studies as well as to have the opportunity of developing their own capacity and enthusiasm on the topic.  An oral examination (on different dates) on two topics among those discussed within the outlined program will complete the evaluation and the final score
