Light is a form of energy that can fade color and cause chemical and physical degradation of textile fibers. Fabrics and finishes, such as starches, may also turn yellow as a result of chemical breakdown. Both natural and artificial light sources can cause this photochemical degradation. The effect is cumulative and irreversible. The rate of deterioration is determined by the level of illumination and the duration of exposure. 3, record 1, English, - actinic%20degradation
