Using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and solidphase microextraction gas chromatography mass spectrometry (SPME-GC/MS), Katherine successfully identified many of the plastic types present in the artwork and identified some volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions coming from them. Her analysis was used to make recommendations about the storage strategy for this interesting and complex piece.
