“…Drawing on the widespread use of cocrystal engineering strategies in pharmacy to modulate active components, this important problem in agriculture may be addressed. , Different from traditional organic chemical synthesis, where the breaking and formation of chemical bonds between atoms or molecules plays a key role in the design of new compounds, the building blocks of cocrystal engineering are in a stoichiometric ratio through noncovalent intermolecular interactions, bonded in the unit cell . At present, cocrystal engineering is widely used in many fields such as pharmaceuticals, , functional materials, , energetic materials, , and chiral resolution, , and its application in agriculture is also developing rapidly. , For example, the limited applications of essential oils have been extended by using cocrystal engineering due to high volatility and scarce water solubility, , and can be further extended to food preservatives and paper biodeteriogens. , Our previous work also achieved sustained release and reduced leaching of highly water-soluble herbicide metamitron through cocrystal engineering, confirming its great potential in the development of environmentally friendly agrochemicals …”

Addressing the challenges posed by the low water solubility of numerous herbicides is crucial as it directly affects their bioavailability and efficacy. This limited solubility often results in overapplication, increasing both environmental persistence and risks to human health and aquatic ecosystems. Atrazine (ATR), a widely recognized photosynthesis inhibitor, is emblematic of this dilemma, often requiring doses that far exceed the optimal levels for effective weed control. Cocrystal engineering has emerged as a promising solution. In our study, we synthesized cocrystals of ATR with propanedioic acid (PA) and succinic acid (SA). These cocrystals displayed a marked enhancement in intrinsic dissolution rates, with increases up to most 22.518-fold across a temperature range of 10−30 °C, which in turn greatly improved ATR's release dynamics. In addition, the solubility varied, increasing to different degrees at different temperatures. This augmentation not only elevated its herbicidal potency, evident from the preferential order of ATR-PA over ATR-SA and then ATR, but also safeguarded against any negative impacts on crop corn. Intriguingly, an increment of just 10 °C in temperature had a more pronounced effect than doubling the herbicide dosage, highlighting the pivotal role of ambient conditions. Overall, our findings highlight the potential of cocrystal engineering to optimize the performance and mitigate the environmental impact of herbicides with restricted water solubility.

“…The Sedlbauer isopleths and VTT model supported the assessment of biodeteriogens' risks, as they define climate conditions conducive to the proliferation of biodeteriogens that have been widely sampled also in other Italian libraries and archives housed in unconditioned historical buildings, such as Alternaria sp., Aspergillus sp., Cladosporium sp., Penicillium sp. (e.g., in the "Doctorate Library" of the University of Perugia [48], in the book depository at Forte Belvedere in Florence [56], and in the Palatina library in Parma [50]). In the case of the State Archives of Palermo, it was found that spore germination and mould growth were less favoured in the coming years thanks to lower relative humidity levels.…”

Assessing the Impact of Climate Change on the Biodeterioration Risk in Historical Buildings of the Mediterranean Area: The State Archives of Palermo

The growing sensitivity towards environmental sustainability, particularly in the light of climate change, requires a reflection on the role that historical buildings can play in heritage conservation. This research proposed an interdisciplinary approach combining climate and biological expertise to evaluate the biodeterioration risk associated with different IPCC outdoor climate scenarios. Conduction heat transfer functions and dose–response functions were used to model the indoor climate of a historical building and the related climate-induced risk of mould and pest proliferation. The approach was applied to a case study in the Mediterranean area, i.e., the State Archives of Palermo (Italy) housed in a 15th-century convent. In 2018, a survey conducted by ICPAL-MiC experts warned about past infestations and risks deriving from climate conditions. An environmental monitoring campaign conducted in 2021 allowed for the characterisation of the buffering effect in a historical building in response to the outdoor climate and the simulation of future indoor climate. Since indoor temperature and mixing ratio are expected to raise in future scenarios, it was found that there is an increased risk of insects’ proliferation, combined with a decreased risk of spore germination and mould growth. Such evidence-based evaluation allows for the design of tailored preventive conservation measures to enhance the durability of both the archival collections and the building.

“…The first paper attesting the use of thymol for paper conservation dates back to 1986 [ 21 ], though the majority of the papers addressing the use of EOs in the field of archival material conservation have been published from 2012 until today, inspiring the present survey ( Table 1 ) [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 ]. An overview of these works is presented in the following paragraphs, resuming the current state of-the art and highlighting benefits and limitations of plant EOs and their main constituents in the preservation of paper-based items.…”

This latter approach is probably the most recommended method, as it does not involve direct contact between the target micro-organism and the tested substance [ 30 ].…”

Archival documents and artworks stored in libraries frequently undergo degradative processes promoted by the so-called “biodeteriogens” that inhabit these places. A renewed interest in plant-derived products has arisen in those research groups focusing on cultural heritage preservation and looking for new and safe disinfection techniques. In this view, essential oils (EOs) and their volatile organic constituents are very appealing thanks to their versatility of action. A literature survey of the scientific publications involving EOs and/or their major constituents related to the conservation of paper items of cultural heritage interest is presented here, aiming to reveal benefits and limitations of such peculiar plant-derived compounds.
