The chemistry behind new and old book smells
(media.mstdn.social)
Wondering if the book adhesive, inks or chemicals used in modern print have changed so that the now new books will have a different old book smell in the future than our old books now.
(sorry to intrude). This has had a few cross-posts on Lemmy. The link that goes to !tails@lemmon.website is attributed to the author of the image, so you can reply to them via that community if you wish.
Definitely!
I love this type of random, but thought provoking information.
I love to read books of a certain format from the 70' for their special smell. I wonder which chemical is at cause.
are any of the old or new VOCs dangerous and if so after what amount of time?
