Methods for Early Detection of Microbiological Infestation of Buildings Based on Gas Sensor Technologies

In this review, the problem of microbiological infestation of buildings was discussed. The techniques of detection were described as well, with special attention drawn to the rapid-early detection methods based on gas sensor arrays. The physical and chemical conditions of the building environment co...
