Reviews
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 the knowledge of distant fields of microbiology and building technology, for the use of both, scientists and practitioners. This pioneering work of interdisciplinary nature harmoniously combines the 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 of 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 emphasizing. -Prof. Jacek Dutkiewicz, PhD, DSc, Institute of Rural Health in Lublin
