Description
International Biodeterioration & Biodegradation publishes original research papers and reviews on
the biological causes of deterioration or degradation.
– The causes may be macro– or microbiological, whose origins may
be aerial, aquatic, or terrestrial.
– The effects may include corrosion, fouling, rotting, decay, infection, disfigurement,
toxification, weakening or processes that liquefy, detoxify, or mineralize.
– The materials affected may include natural, synthetic
or refined materials [such as metals, hydrocarbons and oils, foodstuffs and beverages, pharmaceuticals, cellulose and wood, plastics
and polymers, fibres, paper, leather, waste materials or any other material of commercial importance]; and structures or systems [such
as buildings, works of art, processing equipment, etc.] as well as hazardous wastes, and includes environmental and occupational health
aspects resulting from the activities of the biological agents described above.
Papers on all aspects of cause, mode of action, treatment,
protection and prevention, analysis and testing, detoxification, upgrading, commercial implications, biocides and substitutes and related
areas are welcome. However, papers that are strictly related to engineering aspects of biotechnological processes and those that aim
at developing or assessing
mathematical-based predictive models used in the designing of biotechnological processes are excluded.
