Purpose. To provide scientifically based conclusions on:
– the quantitative and species composition of microorganisms in the air of various indoor spaces, including air conditioners;
– potential hazards to human health;
– the role of microorganisms in the damage and destruction of materials, products, and cultural heritage sites;
– the causes of biodegradation processes;
– the resistance of products and materials to fungi; – the degree of biocidal activity of various compounds.
To develop and provide appropriate recommendations for stopping and preventing the development of biodegradation processes.
Scope. Various areas of human activity.
Advantages. The comprehensive nature of the work significantly reduces the time required to obtain results and develop and provide appropriate recommendations. Implementing measures to prevent and slow down the development of biodegradation allows us to:
– improve indoor air quality, which will significantly reduce the incidence of human diseases;
– prevent significant economic damage (prevent the deterioration of the operational characteristics of devices, equipment, structures, fuels, etc., and the occurrence of emergency situations);
– preserve invaluable cultural heritage sites.
