Since, in many cases, the seawaterdamaged documents were left wet and covered with dirty soil for several months, they were subjected to significant mold damage as well. In order to salvage them, emergency treatments and their temporal storage were carried out all across the country. At the Nara National Research Institute for Cultural Properties, freeze-drying of a large amount of damaged documents was carried out, and the staff and volunteers were engaged in cleaning and storing severely molded documents for several months. Since working in such a condition posed a high risk of fungal exposure, the environmental contamination including that by airborne and material adhesive fungi in the storage and the cleaning workroom. Sampling of the damaged documents in the Institute was done on April 13, 2012. As a result of quantitative analysis of material adhesive fungi, a significant increase was detected in the working table, the air-circulating hood and around the groove of the windows as well as on the working clothes and mouth masks. Qualitative analysis showed that the dominant fungi were Penicillium spp., which were distributed throughout the indoor environment. On the other hand, dematiaceous fungi were often observed in some molded documents. The black fungi were identified as Stachybotrys spp.with microscopic morphological characteristics, but they failed to grow on appropriate media. The number of airborne fungi in the storage room and the cleaning workroom were higher than that in a normal residential environment. The dominant airborne fungi were also Penicillium spp., which were cultivated by the damaged documents. This investigation suggested that effective countermeasures are needed to prevent workers from fungal exposure during their work of cleaning and restoring molded documents.}, pages = {159--166}, title = {〔報告〕奈良文化財研究所における被災文書の保管、クリーニング作業場所の微生物環境調査}, year = {2013} }
