Indoor air quality recently entered legislation in Portugal. Several parameters must be evaluated and kept within limits in order to obtain a certification for air quality and energy consumption. Certification parameters were analyzed in two Portuguese archives in order to assess indoor air quality both for people attending or working on these premises and for maintenance of a written heritage that must be retained for future generations. Carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO₂), formaldehyde, and fungal counts were kept within stipulated limits. Relative humidity (RH), volatile organic compounds (VOC), particulate matter (PM₁₀), and ozone (O₃) showed values above legislated levels and justified the implementation of corrective measures. In terms of conservation, studies on the limit values are still needed, but according to the available international guidelines, some of the analyzed parameters such as PM₁₀, O₃, and RH were also above desirable values. Corrective measures were proposed to these institutions. Although this study was only of a short duration, it proved valuable in assessing potential eventual problems and constitutes the first Portuguese indoor air quality assessment taking into consideration both aspects of an archive such as human health and heritage safekeeping.
室内空气质量最近在葡萄牙被纳入法规。为了获得空气质量和能源消耗的认证，必须评估和控制几个参数在限制范围内。为了评估在这些场所工作或参加的人员的室内空气质量，以及为了保存必须为后代保留的书面遗产，对两个葡萄牙档案馆的认证参数进行了分析。一氧化碳（CO）和二氧化碳（CO₂）、甲醛和真菌计数都在规定的限制内。相对湿度（RH）、挥发性有机化合物（VOC）、颗粒物（PM₁₀）和臭氧（O₃）的含量高于规定水平，因此需要采取纠正措施。在保护方面，仍然需要对极限值进行研究，但根据现有的国际准则，一些分析参数，如 PM₁₀、O₃ 和 RH，也高于理想值。向这些机构提出了纠正措施。尽管这项研究的时间很短，但它证明了在评估潜在的最终问题方面的价值，并构成了第一个考虑到档案的人类健康和遗产保存两个方面的葡萄牙室内空气质量评估。
