• Do We Really Need A Book Cleaning Machine?

The dust today is not a problem of appearance, but a problem of health. Dust particulates are one of the most harmful matters that you can inhale. In the case of books there are two important points:

-The surfaces of papers act as a magnet of dust particulates. The three sides of books act as a preserve of dust particulate as long as they are not cleaned.

-When you open a dusty book, dust particulates deposited on three sides of books are removed and are pushed up with the resulting air current directly into your nose.

When we consider carefully existing information in the literature related to corresponding risk areas, it’s the librarians who work with dusty books are in real health danger. The risk is ranging from lung cancer and heart attack to chronic asthma, allergy problems, depression, nervous problem, esthetic’s problems of skin etc. They should consider as workers at high risk and protected by law. The existing standards are not enough to protect the librarians and new studies should be done to create new standards.

Public libraries should take responsibility to clean up dusty books before lending them to their clients.nd the world.
