Resumen
La conservación de obras de arte contemporáneo realizadas en plástico viene siendo objeto de investigaciones en los últimos años. Sin embargo, el problema de las emisiones de contaminantes gaseosos no ha sido estudiado en profundidad desde el campo de la conservación-restauración. En este artículo presentamos los resultados obtenidos tras la revisión de las últimas investigaciones relacionadas con éste problema. También incorporamos las conclusiones extraídas de las diecinueve respuestas obtenidas de las encuestas realizadas a museos e instituciones, en cuyas colecciones albergan obras de arte y objetos realizados en plástico. El análisis de la información recogida, pone de manifiesto la carencia de protocolos específicos para la conservación de plásticos, más aún si se tratan de los emisores de contaminantes gaseosos.
