Humidity control by using bamboo charcoal as dehumidifier

Controlling humidity in museum environment will help to expand object’s life. It is because humidity is one of the agents of deterioration. Incorrect humidity will lead microorganism to grow, and artifact became porous. In this study bamboo charcoal as dehumidifier has been introduced to control hum...
