Aerosol particle size resolved concentration and composition along with concentration of gaseous pollutants (i.e. NO2, O3, SO2, acetic and formic acids, HNO3, NH3 and VOC) were
measured inside and outside the Baroque Library Hall of the National Library in Prague during different intensive measurements campaigns. Results show seasonal differences, which correspond with different natural ventilation regimens associated with indoor-outdoor temperature differences. Pollutant sources were determined as indoors, outdoors or from infiltration
of particles (i.e. ammonium nitrate) with a shift of the equilibrium to the gas phase (i.e. ammonia). Time variation of fine particles concentration indicates an outdoor origin with traffic as the most probable source, whereas visitors were identified as a source of coarse particles of crustal composition (i.e. Si, Ca and Fe) in the indoor environment. The indoor pollutant concentrations were assessed to represent certain risk for the preservation of stored books and manuscripts.
