Abstract
Traditional methods of decontamination have not ensured the required completeness of treatment. The new composition of coatings for decontamination on buildings and structures was developed at the Institute of Environmental Geochemistry (IEG). The objective of this investigation was to examine the effect of decontamination of the building materials by simultaneous application of various species of micromycets and decontamination coverings. The destructive effect of micromycetes, especially of their dark coloured varieties containing melanin, is conditioned by:
