The conservation-restoration program of the University of Antwerp organizes the 14th International Conference on Indoor Air Quality in Heritage and Historic Environments. The conference will take place in the historical center of Antwerp, Belgium.

The conference discusses the impact of indoor air quality on heritage objects. 

Contributions are welcome on new trends in pollution monitoring, understanding the levels of risk to collections, material emissions, and building refurbishment as a mitigation action. Furthermore, we encourage contributions that discuss practical case studies in museums, archives or churches (e.g., decision making, implementation of mitigation actions, use of showcases, etc.). 

Abstracts can be submitted through the conference website. Each attending author can submit several contributions but only one as an oral presentation.
