What is the purpose of this survey?

The purpose of this survey is to better understand the issues related to pollution monitoring at heritage sites. Are air pollution levels monitored? Why not? What are the pollutants of interest? These are some of the questions which should improve our understanding of issues related to air pollution monitoring at heritage sites around the world. Such understanding would help develop more suitable monitoring systems.
