<br />
Alkaline is synonymous with the term “base,” referring to a solution or material that has a pH greater than 7 ([[#ref3|Getty: Alkalinity]]). The logarithmic pH scale is used to measure alkalinity. ([[#ref5|Museum of Fine Arts Boston: pH]]). Bases (alkaline materials) have a pH greater than 7 (a pH of 7 being neutral) and increase in alkalinity as the pH approaches 14 ([[#ref2|Museum of Fine Arts Boston: Alkaline]]). For example, a pH of 6.9 indicates a very weak acid, whereas a pH of 0 (zero) indicates a very strong acid. Alkalinity is opposed to acidity, which refers to a solution that has a pH less than 7 ([[#ref1|Getty: Acidity]]). Examples of bases used in conservation include sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, etc.<br />
<br />
Alkaline can also refer to an environmental condition. Alkaline environments can be created by low rainfall and high evaporation, as in arid and semi-arid ([[#ref4|Cronyn 1990]]). This type of environment allows bases in dissolving rock particles to remain in place instead being washed out by rainwater. Sea-water has a pH of 8.2 and is also considered to be an alkaline environment. Such environments are favorable to metals but can be destructive to organic materials.<br />
