Abstract

Aim: The paper focus on some old textiles in Romania.

Methodology: Fungal contamination was determined using conventional techniques of open plates by Koch sedimentation method. Fibers and their (bio) deterioration phenomena was studied by scanning electron microscopy.

Results: Among the fungi identified on the investigated old textiles: Aspergillus sp., are common indoor and outdoor molds. It can cause problems in the conservation of cultural heritage and also pose risks to health and environment.

Interpretation: Monitoring of fungal contamination represents the basis for effective conservation strategy of indoor heritage environments.

Keywords: Deterioration, Environment risks, Fibres, Old textiles
