SCOPE OF WORK

Conserve 83 Thymol Treated 18th c. Objects Valley Forge National Historic Site

I. INTRODUCTION

This project will conserve 83 cataloged militia accoutrements previously treated with thymol. Treatment consists of reducing thymol from the fumigation performed in 1980 and stabilization of objects for safe handling. These nationally significant objects are related to the American Revolution and help interpret the 1777-1778 winter encampment at Valley Forge. These leather objects are a part of the preeminent George C.

Neumann collection and include cartridge boxes, bayonet scabbards, hunting bags, holsters, and sword belts.

The EPA has not determined toxicity levels of thymol exposure in humans. The EPA states, “The use of currently registered pesticide products containing thymol in accordance with approved labeling will not pose unreasonable risks or adverse effects to humans or the environment.”

However, these objects were treated, most likely, with thymol fumigation as a biocide. No documentation currently exists that contains labeling, or the particular thymol product used.

Safe handling of thymol is as follows:

1. Use local exhaust ventilation when handling objects treated with thymol.

2. Wear neoprene or butyl rubber gloves when handling thymol.

3. In case of skin contact, wash with plenty of water; in case of eye contact rinse with water for at least 15 minutes and contact a physician.

4. Do not eat, drink or smoke when handling and using thymol. Wash hands after work and before eating.

Thymol is a constituent of oil of thyme, a naturally occurring mixture of compounds in the plant Thymus vulgaris L., or thyme. Thymol is an ingredient in pesticide products registered for use as animal repellents, fungicides/fungistats, medical disinfectants, tuberculocides, and virucides.

These products are used on a variety of indoor and outdoor sites, to control target pests including animal pathogenic bacteria and fungi, several viruses including HIV-I, and birds, squirrels, beavers, rats, mice, dogs, cats and deer. Products are liquids applied by spray, mop, brush-on, wipe-on dip, aerosol, immersion and spot treatment. Thymol also has many non-pesticidal uses, including use in perfumes, food flavorings, mouthwashes, pharmaceutical preparations and cosmetics. In 2009, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reviewed the research literature on the toxicology and environmental impact of thymol and concluded that thymol has minimal potential toxicity and poses minimal risk

These objects have not been available for public exhibit or research due to the safety risk posed from acute and chronic health effects. Without treatment, the objects may deteriorate and become more costly to restore.

These objects are nationally significant; they represent 18th century accoutrement carried and used by Revolutionary War soldiers in the Continental Army. The objects are a part of the George C. Neumann Collection and make up 12% of the accoutrement part of the collection. The leather accoutrement are the most requested objects in the collection for research purposes but due to their present condition the park is unable to fulfill these solicitations.

II. PROJECT

The project consists of cleaning residual thymol residue from the 83 museum objects. Objects are currently in stable condition and are contained in a Delta Cabinet with an air exchange rate of 1-3 days. This rate is within an acceptable range but does not allow adequate off gassing for these particular objects due to the amount of thymol residue. In order to handle the objects safely, the staff has to use approved/certified respirator or equivalent and gloves.

The Park wishes to have the ability to exhibit these pieces, but it is also understood that they may only be able to store them within a safer containment option to perform inventory and if advisable show to the public and researchers on a limited basis.

1. The purpose of this treatment is to ensure the artifacts are safer for curators to handle and study.

2. Remove as much thymol as possible from leather without causing damage to the artifacts;

3. Re-house or create storage mounts for objects so that park staff may handle and/or exhibit the object safely.

Proposed Methods for Reduction of Thymol https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FUnited_States_Environmental_Protection_Agency&data=04%7C01%7Cjason_powell%40nps.gov%7C447afca2b27b4ce5198108d89ba45070%7C0693b5ba4b184d7b9341f32f400a5494%7C0%7C0%7C637430477307506372%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=avmegHExNO6eLFqMntiONhXH8JAqYaJYSpyFCQlbiQw%3D&reserved=0

A. ETOH Wipe and GC-MS In order to understand any improvement of thymol levels in the leather, it is proposed to perform gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (GC- MS) analyses. The leather would be wiped with a Kimwipe that has been soaked with ethanol (ETOH). Because thymol is highly soluble in alcohol, the ETOH will greatly reduce/remove the thymol. Once the leather has been wiped, the Kimwipe will be saved. The Kimwipe will then be extracted for gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) analyses. GC-MS is an analytical method used most often with small, volatile molecules. This type of spectroscopy can be utilized to separate complex mixtures, quantify analytes, and identify trace amounts of organic contaminants. The thymol will be extracted from the wipe and run through the GC-MS to determine the amount of thymol that was removed by the wipe. As a result of solubilization in ethanol, there should be a decrease in the amount of thymol on the wipes which will quantitatively indicate that the thymol is being removed/reduced from the leather.

The method for thymol removal proposed above is a suggested initial test meant to insure efficacy of treatment. Gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) would not need to be done on every object, only as an initial assessment to develop a protocol. The contractor may propose an alternative method to show thymol reduction/removal.

III. LOCATION:
