{"title":"Effect of Selected Natural Dyes in Reduction on Colour Changes of Egyptian Linen Textiles by Fungi","authors":"Omar Abdel-Kareem","doi":"10.1002/adic.200790035","DOIUrl":"10.1002/adic.200790035","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Linen is the most historical Egyptian textile fibre liable to fungal deterioration. Fungal deterioration of dyed linen textiles may appear as undesirable different stains. In order to success in removing of fungal stains from biodeteriorated historical Egyptian dyed linen textiles, it is necessary to understand the nature and causes of these stains, hence their subsequent removal. So this paper aims to investigate the effect of fungi on dyed linen textiles. In this study linen textile samples were experimentally dyed by two different dyes, blue one as an example to vat dye and yellow one as an example to direct dye. This work is done on two of the most important dyes (Turmeric and indigo), which were popular in most of historical periods in Egypt. Dyed linen samples were experimentally biodegraded by thirty different fungal strains isolated previously from historical Egyptian linen samples. The produced change in colours of the biodeteriorated samples was detected visually. Also, the change in reflection spectra and colour differences produced to dyed linen textiles after fungal deterioration, were assessed and evaluated by using spectrophotometer. This study reported that most of tested fungi contribute to discoloration of all tested dyed linen samples. These results indicate that most of stains on historical Egyptian dyed linen textiles, may be fungal stains. The results confirm that undyed linen textiles more liable to fungal biodeterioration than dyed ones. Also the results show that yellow dyed linen textiles are more susceptible to fungal deterioration than blue dyed linen textiles.

Measurements were taken with a micrometeorological station equipped with an optical PM_2.5 detector, and simultaneously, particles were collected on filters for subsequent chemical analyses. The average value of daily PM_2.5 concentration is 21.5 ug/m3 and real-time measurements indicate that the average concentration during the day (8 am to 8 pm) is about 25 % lower than the nocturnal average. Short-time averages of PM_2.5 decrease when the wind speed increases as consequence of the more efficient mixing. Meteorological measurements indicate the presence of a local daily (breeze) circulation with wind blowing from the Alps or the Adriatic Sea and, during this circulation, larger concentrations were observed, with wind coming from the Alps.

Also the concentrations of PAH are comparable with those of other industrial areas, as their sum ranges from 0.16 ng m^-3 to 3.73 ng m^-3, but if considered as B(a)P toxicity equivalent, they are largely lower (0.036±0.026 ng m^-3).
