Abstract

Anoxia Treatment using inert gas like nitrogen and argon has been used to eradicate insects successfully in museums as alternative of methyl bromide and toxic insecticide. Killing efficacy of insect for anoxia treatment is depend on species of insects, oxygen concentration, temperature, relative humidity and gas. It is possible to kill museum insects which are most tolerant in anoxia environment, within 1 month below 0.03% of oxygen concentration in temperature $15{\sim}25^{\circ}C$ and relative humidity 40~60% of museum environment. And various systems like bag, tent, bubble and chamber depending on size and quantity of objects, are used.

박물관에서 질소나 아르곤과 같은 불활성 가스를 사용한 저산소 농도 살충처리법은 메틸브로마이드나 유독성 살충제의 대체법으로써 성공적으로 사용되어 왔다. 저산소 농도 살충법의 살충 효과는 해충의 종, 산소 농도, 온도, 습도, 가스의 종류 등에 따라 영향을 받으며, 박물관에서의 문화재 보존 환경(온도 $15{\sim}25^{\circ}C$, 습도 40~60%)에서 산소 농도를 0.03% 이하로 유지함으로써 1개월 이내에 가장 내성이 강한 문화재 해충의 살충이 가능하다. 그리고 살충 처리 대상 문화재의 수량이나 크기에 따라 소형 중형 백, 대형 텐트, 버블, 챔버 등 다양한 시스템을 적용할 수 있다.
