In the traditional photo world, there has been some work done 
embedding compounds in the mat board that suck up pollutants etc. see:
http://www.superiorarchivalmats.com and also Michael Smith's article 
which can be found at http://www.michaelandpaula.com under "writings".

This "artcare" stuff easy to find as it is now sold by Bainbridge.
