This research is urgent for ecology and the struggle against environmental contamination. The biodamage problem is both scientifically complex and practically diverse. The first objective of this book is to provide detailed information on three interrelated parts: bacteria and fungi (source of biodamages); insects and rodents (depredators); and materials and products damaged by living organisms. The most modern data on morphology and physiology of biodegrading microorganisms are presented. The second objective is to provide the reader with a systematisation of biological degradation on natural and synthetic materials and products (plastics, textile, fibres, leather and fur, wood and so on). It presents the problem of utilisation of polymeric wastes using microorganisms and main protection methods and technology for raw materials and semiproducts. It also offers practical recommendations in the struggle against biodamage by insects (moth, leather beetles, wood-fretters, cockroaches and termites) and rodents (mice and rats). This volume is intended to be a practical guide on biodamage and biodegradation of polymeric materials, offering a reference to students and researchers from academia and the industry The issue of biodamages comprises a wide range of scientific and practical tasks associated with protection of raw materials and products against damage by bacteria, fungi, insects and rodents during long-term storage, production, transportation and operation. The biodegradation is used for degradation and utilization of worn-out materials and articles. This research is urgent for ecology and the struggle against environmental contamination. The biodamage problem is both scientifically complex and practically diverse. Scientifically, it is based on the knowledge of material science, biology an
