| Summary: | Substantial fungosity of numerous historic buildings has been identifi ed in the course of mycological
examinations performed by the authors. The authors demonstrate a correlation between
the interior temperature, the moisture content, and the intensity of fungi growth over the surfaces of
walls and in the indoor air of premises. The findings have proven that there is a pressing need for an
antiseptic treatment of premises. The research completed by the authors demonstrates that a substantial
improvement of the ecological condition of the premises requires the use of the chemicals
that contain an active biocide that has a long-term antiseptic effect.
The authors have also identified that any long-term improvement of ecological conditions is
possible, if the premises are treated by Mipor, a fungicide and an antiseptic. Any treatment causes a
long-term reduction in the concentration of viable spores both on the surfaces and in the air. Mipor,
designed at Moscow State University of Civil Engineering, may be applied to stone, masonry, and
concrete surfaces to assure a long-term protection from microorganisms that represent a hazard to
the human health and destruct indoor surfaces.
