Environment

Modifications to the design of a specific storage solution can be made to specifically alter or isolate the environment of a storage solution. These types of solutions can change the gaseous content of an enclosure or significantly modify the relative humidity and temperature of a particular collection component. For the most part, this section does not cover solutions that involve room or building-level engineering or pest control solutions as these issues are covered in other resources such as the AIC Wiki, and Museumpests.org.
