The Coming Museum of Glass, only one block from the river, was ravaged. Water reached a height of 5VS ft inside the museums main floor. Approximately 525 of the 13,000 glass objects were broken. The Museum library, the library of record for the worlds glass scholars, sustained extraordinary damage approximately 6500 of a total collection of 13,000 volumes and 3,000 of the 6,000 periodicals were under water, as were 600 volumes in the rare and special book collections.

The worktable is another surface with which museum fabrics often come into contact. Hard, nonporous materials such as wood, formica, and glass must not be used as a worktable surface. Because of their nonabsorbent nature, they collect hand grime and other oily matters museum fabrics placed on such a surface naturally serve as a wiping cloth and clean the soiled worktable. (Many fabrics in museums suffer the results the reverse side is extensively soiled while the obverse is still clean.)... 

The applications of plasma emission spectrometry are very broad. The technique is used for clinical chemistry, biochemistry, environmental chemistry, geology, specialty and bulk chemical production, materials characterization of metal alloys, glasses, ceramics, polymers and composite materials, atmospheric science, forensic science, conservation and restoration of artworks by museums, agricultural science, food and nutrition science, industrial hygiene, and many other areas. The versatility of plasma emission spectrometry comes from its ability to determine a large number of elements rapidly in a wide variety of sample matrices.
