A gaseous, Aerosol, or Particulate contaminant. Pollutants are generated by natural and man-made sources, such as decomposition, abrasion, or combustion. They can deposit and interact deleteriously with museum materials. Examples of gas-phase pollutants are Ozone, Hydrogen sulfide, Sulfur dioxide, Nitrogen oxides, Formaldehyde, Formic acid, and Acetic acid. Scavengers are used to minimize the concentration of air pollutants in contained spaces.
