Constant human health mycobiotic irritants in the urban environment of the Old Town of Vilnius
A. LUGAUSKAS, V. PAKŠTAS, A. RUČINSKIENĖ, E. BINKAUSKIENĖ

One of the main goals of this work is to determine mycobiotic irritants and mycobiota, dominant on old construction materials, which were formerly widely used under reconstruction and renovation environment of the Old Town of Vilnius during 2012–2014. It was determined that the composition of mycobiota at different construction objects significantly differs. Aspergillus spp., Penicillium spp. and Fusarium spp. have been reported as the main genera present in building wastes. Scanning electron microscopy was used to characterize the morphology of the fungi. The chemical characterization of samples was performed by the Fourier Transform InfraRed, X-ray fluorescense spectroscopy methods and the X-ray diffraction analysis. Reconstruction and renovation of old urban construction materials produce plenty of chemical and biological pollution, which can have a real hazard for human health and environment.
