This book provides an introduction to biodeterioration - the attack
on man-made materials by living organisms. The authors outline the
principles involved, as well as the ways in which such damage can
be controlled and prevented. A wide range of organisms are covered
(including bacteria, fungi, algae, lichens, insects and other
invertebrates, birds, mammals and plants) and the types of
biodeterioration discussed include: * natural materials such as
foodstuffs, wood, metal, stone, cellulose and leather * synthetic
products such as paint, adhesives and plastics * structures and
systems such as buildings, monuments, transport systems and
vehicles. In this updated and expanded second edition, new
molecular and genetic techniques are included, and regulatory,
environmental and safety issues are emphasised. This book is
suitable not only for biologists, but also for those in industry,
commerce and local government who are concerned with the
preservation and conservation of a wide range of materials of
economic or cultural importance.
