Pollution museum-generated

Therefore, not only packaging and building products, but also the artifacts themselves contribute to the indoor air pollution by generating different substances causing adverse effects both on human health and on cultural assets (Schieweck et al., 2005). Influences and interactions in the museum environment are described in Figure 12.1. 

Generations change and current generations only hear about the good old days in stories but may not have had first-hand experience with those days that were free of water and air pollution or days that were once relatively free of water scarcity problems in, for example, the lower reaches of the Amudarya and the Syrdarya. To a majority of the current Aral Basin population, there was always a Karakum Canal (begun in 1954) taking water out of the Amudarya. Most likely, they do not know what life was like before the canal was constmcted, except by way of history, documentaries, visits to the local museums and the reminiscence of their elders.
