Mould deterioration of materials and equipment

Abstract

Micro‐organisms have an important part to play in the natural cycle of breakdown and re‐use of materials. They form a well‐organised body of specialists that can break down many materials under a wide range of conditions. Unfortunately they go to work on the materials of their choice in things made and used by man. The author mentions some practical corrosion and deterioration problems, and stresses the need for adequate testing of industrial products for mould‐resistance.
