520 3 |a Dust of various origins in the environment of tropical and subtropical regions is a common phenomenon and the Indian sub-continent is no exception. These particles adversely affect documentary cultural heritage in various ways. To find out more relevant facts a study was conducted in the National Archives of India. The dust accumulated in the repositories of the NAI was composed of heavy and light particles, most probably of inorganic and organic origin. Its colour was black, while that found in libraries located in small cities was brown and almost completely inorganic. The dust of metropolitan cities was sticky while that of small cities was not. The rate of dust accumulation during the year was highly dependent on the rainfall, being highest in the dry summer and lowest during the rainy period July-September. The total dust accumulated in the repositories of the NAI varied in different stack areas from 6.07 to 7.14mg/m2 per annum. These numbers are alarming. Advice is given as to how they can be reduced.
