The use of gamma radiation for treating biodeteriorated cultural heritage on paper has been studied at the Comisión Nacional de Energía Atómica-CNEA (Argentina) since 2001. In order to preserve books, publications, and documents that have been attacked by insects or fungi, gamma radiation techniques have been used at CNEA. The activities include basic research as well as their applications in infected documents and papers currently used in libraries and archives. New papers were subjected to accelerated ageing in order to evaluate the effects of gamma radiation on their physical and mechanical properties. Current studies include resistance to radiation in two batches of highly cellulolytic fungi, associated with indoor environment. They are present in papers and adhesives used for conservation purposes at the Laboratory of Preventive Conservation and Restoration of Documents. A joint study has been started in CNEA with the National University of La Plata.
自2001年以来，阿根廷国家原子能委员会（CNEA）一直在研究利用伽马辐射处理纸张类生物降解的文化遗产。为了保护受到昆虫或真菌侵害的书籍、出版物和文件，CNEA采用了伽马辐射技术。这些活动包括基础研究及其在图书馆和档案馆目前使用的受感染文件和纸张中的应用。对新纸张进行加速老化处理，以评估伽马辐射对其物理和机械性能的影响。目前的研究包括两批与室内环境相关的高纤维素分解真菌的辐射抗性。它们存在于文件预防性保护与修复实验室用于保护目的的纸张和粘合剂中。CNEA已与拉普拉塔国立大学展开一项联合研究。
