some of which include enhancements like sprinkler devices and so forth, there are many considerations one must think about aside from the price or ease of installation. While some systems
are less costly than others, there are positive and negative features of each. In embarking on decisions in respect to the systems that are CO2-based , or a Halon fire
suppression system, it seems that one must look at existent systems and what is plausible at the moment. When comparing the CO2 systems, with the Halon systems, each comes with
its own set of positive and negative aspects. And while there are many Halon systems in place, and so it is a viable topic, the system is something that is
largely discouraged in the marketplace. In fact, many of these old systems were replaced during the 1980s when it was discovered that they were detrimental to the environment. When making
a decision in respect to which system to implement, much has to do with the type of facility one is protecting. For example, is it a venue that has explosives
or other combustible materials? Is it a place where there is likely to be a lot of people such as a nightclub? Perhaps the facility has a lot of valuable
papers. This is something that archivists fret about. How can one protect important papers from fire? One expert recommends neither the Halon or CO2 based systems. Rather, Buchmann (1999) says:
" For paper records, therefore, my recommendation is to install a water-sprinkler system with dry pipes in the stacks, with double security against unnecessary and incorrect operation of this system--(ie
sprinkler heads covered by a glass element which has to melt before water is released; water filling the pipes only in the case of an alarm after three smoke and
