520			_aDeleterious salt activity can cause considerable deterioration in the fabric of historic buildings especially towards internal decorative elements. The paper demonstrates the order of investigations that are required to identify any salts that may be present and the dynamics of the processes and the measures which should be taken to reduce their impact on historic fabric. One of the considerations is the choice of the optimum relative humidity levels for a room which ensure the stability of both the soluble salts and the fabric of each room.
