Sažetak
Cultural heritage objects of organic origin such as wood, leather, paper and textiles, are subject to degradation due to biological activity of various parasites. Numerous items can be threatened by the appearance of mould and fungi, caused by increased concentration of moisture in the space in which they are located. Radiation methods i.e. the process of intentional exposure of vulnerable subjects to gamma radiation, has already proved to be very effective in saving objects of cultural heritage. A painting should be considered as a complex system with a lot of interfaces. Therefore in the process of protection of cultural heritage objects the interdisciplinary approach is necessary where besides the microbiological analysis the impact of irradiation on the paintings must be studied at the molecular level. This paper will outline the necessity of an interdisciplinary scientific approach, as well as the radiation method as the best choice to solve the problem of mould elimination on the original artwork example in cooperation with the Croatian Conservation Institute.
