When spread in thin layers, the unsaturated oilinteracts with oxygen in the air and polymerizes at areasonable rate, to form a solid surface that is resistantto chemical attack, thus helping to fix and protect thepigment.

Exposing the varnish to ultraviolet light accelerates theyellowing and cracking process.
Synthetic resins with the same physical properties as
natural resins, but with the advantage of less yellowingand cracking, have been developed and are used inconservation laboratories

Because light is such a powerful enemy of artifacts,museum lighting is controlled and free of UV
radiation; hence, windows are glazed with a UVabsorbing plastic shield.

Conservators had to remove the iron rods and replacethem with titanium rods.
Conservators used titanium because it is a hard, light,and nonrusting metal.
Only gasoline with low sulfur content is allowed asheating and car fuel; and planes and cars are routedaway from the area around the Acropolis.
