Abstract
In this note we look at a number of aspects relating to chemistry that have had a strong impact on the future of humanity. In particular, some technological innovations have been examined which have had a strong impact on daily life in general; the role of different chemical industries in the restoration of deteriorated monuments and works of art; the development of chemical products for carrying out restoration work; the financing of restoration and conservation; finally, mention has been made of the ethical principles and codes of conduct of the different chemical companies, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) and the fundamental principles for the correct use of chemicals.

Conservation Science in Cultural Heritage is an international peer reviewed journal which continues Quaderni di Scienza della Conservazione. Main topics of publication: • Study of the system: artifact-environment-biota • Historical-artistic knowledge of cultural heritage (i.e. author, art movement, period of realization, techniques, society and cultural characteristics, socio-economic context, commissioning, financing, interested public) • History, diagnosis, restoration, maintenance, conservation, valorization, prevention • Document research • Book, codex, and manuscript production in its historical context • Appropriate methodologies and analytical techniques used for the characterization of historical artifacts and evaluation of the conservation state • Environmental monitoring: assessment of atmospheric pollution and correlated degradation of monuments and historical-artistic sites • Micro and macroclimatic monitoring in confined areas (i.e. museums, libraries, archives, churches, galleries…) • Art diagnostics and evaluation of the authentication of art works • Art market and auction houses • Experiences in cultural heritage conservation • Evaluation of the suitability of products for restoration, conservation, and maintenance of works of art • Information science and cultural heritage: data processing and cataloguing methods • Virtual re-elaboration and use of historical artifacts and environments • Study, valorization and digitalization of archive and library heritage • Environmental context and technical-conservative issues related to historic architecture • Virtual or traditional conservation, cataloguing and processing of photographs • Various other topics including education, safeguard, education, legislation, economics, social aspects, management, marketing, interdisciplinarity, internationalization, etc.
