Environmental stress caused by water continuously exposes buildings
to microbial colonization. This is highly evident when both minor
dampness and mass flooding occur. The text describes how
microbiological corrosion of buildings and the structures and
substances derived from these hazards are responsible for adverse
health effects on people exposed to these contaminated
environments. Microbiological Corrosion of Buildings: A Guide to
Detection, Health Hazards, and Mitigation describes the key
elements and methods for neutralising and removing microbiological
contamination, and the operating algorithm for checking the
effectiveness of preventative solutions. Ideal for construction
engineers, microbiologists and professionals in the field.
Features: Latest methods for detection of indoor microbial hazards
Identifies the tools needed for natural, non-destructive and
non-invasive methods of bio-corrosion removal Describes the social
and health problems associated with exposure to microbiological
hazards Provides case studies and examples of microorganisms
responsible for microbial corrosion. 'Climate change and the
associated adverse effects, such as floods and whirlwinds, make the
problem of microbiological corrosion of buildings that generates
health risks and economic losses on a global scale, the focus of
science and technology. The monograph presents a complex problem of
building bio-corrosion, that requires knowledge of the distant
fields of microbiology and building technology, for the use of both
scientists and practitioners. This pioneering work of an
interdisciplinary nature harmoniously combines knowledge on
specific microbiological issues relating to the process of
bio-corrosion and the associated health risks with detailed issues
of construction technology concerning the prevention of
bio-corrosion and its removal. The authors succeeded in combining a
very high scientific level in the monograph with an accessible and
understandable presentation of complex problems. The extensive
references, ranging from "classical" items from many years ago to
the most recent articles presenting the state of the art in this
field, are worth emphasising.' -Prof. Jacek Dutkiewicz, Ph.D.,
D.Sc., Institute of Rural Health in Lublin
