Indoor conditions have the greatest influence on the long-term storage of historical artefacts. The following text summarizes essential knowledge regarding the evaluation of the corrosivity of indoor atmospheres with an emphasis on the effect of the presence of volatile organic acids on corrosion of lead. It provides an overview of the information and resources necessary to decide whether lead storage conditions are safe and concludes by outlining a path to resolution if they are not.
