It is well-known fact that the supermolecular structure of museum textiles changes during aging and biodeterioration. These structural changes can be observed by diff erent spectroscopic methods such as FT-IR, FT-Raman, and dispersive Raman spectroscopy. The purpose of the presented research is to present the usability of FT-Raman spectroscopy method for the analysis of the cellulose structure of the biodeteriorated historical textile fi bers. Although historical textiles have already been analyzed using FT-Raman spectroscopy the method has been rarely used to analyze the changes of supermolecular structure of the biodeteriorated historical textiles attacked by microorganisms. In the research, cellulose textile samples from diff erent museums and religious institutions were analyzed. Contemporary and historical cellulose textiles were scanned by FT-Raman spectra of reference and compared to determine the supermolecular cellulose fi ber structure of each material. It has been shown that structural changes such as depolymerization and crystallinity changes can be detected using FT-Raman spectroscopy. The supermolecular changes of the cellulose fi ber structure have been detected in biodeteriorated as well as in historical objects not infected by microorganisms. In the spectra of biodeteriorated objects, more intensive changes of spectral features were observed compared to spectra of non-infected samples. The changes were more pronounced at the museum objects made of fl ax. It can be concluded that biodeterioration causes more intensive structural changes than aging. On the basis of the research work, it has been shown that FT-Raman spectroscopy method can be used for the analysis of supermolecular structure changes of cellulose textiles.

“…The deterioration of silk fibres causes brittleness of the textile, resulting in loss of mechanical endurance. It is known that elevated relative humidity favours hydrolytic [18,40] and microbial [56][57][58][59] and oxidative [18] degradation of silk textiles. On other hand, accelerated ageing experiments on silk textiles indicated that dry-air atmosphere causes effects similar to damages detected in historic samples [19,60].…”

Size exclusion chromatography (SEC), especially coupled with multiple angle laser light scattering detector (MALLS) is a powerful tool in diagnostics of deterioration of historic and art objects to evaluate their condition. In this paper, SEC-UV-MALLS-DRI technique was applied to study degradation of silk fibroin samples (Bombyx mori) artificially aged under various conditions: in the presence of oxygen, in different amount of water vapour and in volatile organic products (VOCs), all at temperature of 90°C. Conditions were chosen in such a way that it mimicked real conditions of textiles' storing during exhibitions and in show cases. The influence of temperature, moisture and VOCs content on the state of silk textiles was examined with the use of size exclusion chromatography. Pseudo-zero-order Ekenstam equation was applied to study degradation rates of fibroin with use of the approximated values of DP of fibroin.

Concern over indoor fungal growth has increased over the last decades. Research that relates human health issues to the deterioration of indoor air quality due to microbiological pollutants have been accumulated (Rath et al. 2011;Weber 2012;Täubel and Hyvärinen 2015). In addition, since the 1980s, it has been registered that there is an increase in the occurrence of natural disasters such as floods and extreme rainfall, on a global scale, which has enhanced the problems related to biodeterioration in indoor buildings (Bloom et al. 2009;Chow et al. 2019; EASAC 2018). It is worth mentioning that these kinds of events are directly related to fungal growth since water is a key factor in the development of these microorganisms (Johansson et al. 2013;Møller et al. 2017). Considering the strong impact of indoor fungi on public health, several guidelines have been proposed from different European and North American institutions. These institutions include the
