<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Rachel,<br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">what should be considered are volatile
pollutants that may have entered the collection space with the
smoke even though the smoke has disappeared. As Hannu's example
indicates, gaseous pollutants and smoke may cause conservation
issues in the long run, so it might be worth checking which sort
of gasses or smoke particles should be expected, in order to
develop a monitoring to detect potential damage early. <br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Checking for examples referring to fire
in libraries might be a good starting point to collect
information, as libraries usually have excellent conservation
staff and sadly there is more than one library that was affected
by a fire the one or other way. For some volatile pollutants
specific treatments may be needed to remove them, "airing things
out" surely isn't enough here as Tonya already mentioned.</div>

<p>Earlier this year we digitized 200,000 sheets from one
medium-size herbarium. Often when I handled samples collected by
a certain collector in the 1920-1950s, I had to cough.
Tobacco-like smell was still dense. Surprising but hardly
amusing. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Having
survived the dense smoke of the bushfires in SE Australia
this year, I would say that it will just go away on its
own eventually…I can’t give you a timeline, though, as I
think we may have got habituated to the smell before it
actually went away. I would not air things out, due to
pest concerns; we never died, either in the collections or
at home, and the smell eventually dissipated. So sorry you
have to deal with this, though, as I know how awful it is!

everyone,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Last Thursday
afternoon, a brush fire (see attached images) approached
the fence line to our off-site curatorial facility.
Fortunately, there was no damage to the building, but
there was a haze within the storage areas. We have been
airing out the facility since then, which is an IPM
concern; however, due to the smell of smoke, we feel there
is no other option. It has been a week of opening doors
and running fans and the smell of smoke is still
lingering. Does anyone have any experience with how long a
smoky smell will persist? Fortunately, the haze was gone
the first 24 hours and I have not found soot. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
