2nd Announcement with call for papers (pdf, 180 kb)
The 6th IAQ Meeting will take place November 10-12, 2004, in the beautiful city of Padova (Italy) at CNR-ISAC, where Dario Camuffo and his research group are inviting you to discuss the latest developments in IAQ research.
Since the first gathering in Glasgow 1998, the meetings have always served to foster relationships, encourage collaboration and update attendees with details about current research in IAQ. We have come to understand much more about the interaction between materials and airborne pollutants. The area of interest has spread from carbonyls, hydrogen sulphide and diffusion tubes (Glasgow 1998) to models, guidelines and particulate matter (Norwich 2003). Much of the knowledge we have gained has been brought together in Jean Tetreault’s book 'Airborne pollutants in museums, galleries, and archives: risk assessment, control strategies, and preservation management', which will be available from CCI in February 2004. Perhaps the time has come where, besides our usual topics of prevention, detection, and mitigation of pollutants, we should target the complexity of interaction of IAQ with other environmental factors. Finding ourselves at CNR-ISAC, an important place in indoor climate control, will certainly stimulate the thoughts!
Reserve November in your diaries to come to Padova and start getting stressed about presenting your IAQ research.
The conference will follow the formats of earlier meetings, with a special focus in analysing the causes-effects relationships and in linking the findings of conservation science to mitigation and management strategies.

All information updates regarding the meeting will be posted on the IAQ-Museum mailing list.
