Test 6 underway

Five materials that are commonly found in furnishings and exhibits of archives, libraries, and museums were selected for the sixth REALM lab test. Battelle researchers have applied the COVID-19 virus to each item and will measure how much remains after 2, 4, 6, and 8 days. The study began on October 8 and includes the following items:

  *   Marble (flooring, counters)
  *   Powder-coated steel (lockers, shelving, book trucks, exhibit elements)
  *   Laminate (countertops)
  *   Brass (fixtures, railings, finishing)
  *   Glass (uncoated)
