About this book

For the first time the diverse subject area of building mycology is dealt with in one volume. Building Mycology comprehensively covers the issues of the effects of fungi and the damage they can cause to building structures, contents, decorations and foodstuff. Environmental health is a big issue, as is the importance of understanding building environments and their interactions with materials, structures and occupants. The chapters, contributed by a team of expert international authors, also offer an understanding of the basic problems and the control strategies available. Each of the latter environmental, biological and chemical are described, giving useful reference on such matters as non-destructive inspection techniques and the monitoring of the building environment. Building Mycology draws together the latest research in fungal decay in buildings, providing an authoritative point of reference on the subject.
