Agree with everyone!!

Any fog type machine other than basic dry ice is going to use something
that spews particulates into the atmosphere to create the fog. It's not
something you'd want in a historic environment.

I'd allow dry ice because that's only frozen CO2 and it produces gas
without particulates. But conservators might over rule me on this if excess
CO2 is bad for historic furnishings and structures. If you allow it, check
their equipment thoroughly and make sure that they aren't adding anything
into the dry ice to make the smoke thicker or have other effects. That will
use some form of particulate that will spew into the air and defeat the
purpose of clean CO2 fog.

And like Randy said, watch them because sometimes production crews just
plain ignore you and other times the guys on set just don't get the
message.
