Effects of Air Relative Humidity and Temperature on Photodegradation Processes in Beech and Spruce Wood

Spruce and beech samples were irradiated by UV light in humid (100% air humidity) and dry conditions to clarify the effects of vapor on photodegradation. UV-irradiated samples were also soaked in distilled water for comparison. The color change and the IR absorption spectra were measured. The wet co...
