Analysis of EMW radiation for sterilization of biotic pests
Danielová, Marie ; Svobodová, Kateřina (referee) ; Holešovský, Jan (advisor)
Biotic pests such as wood-destroying fungi, molds, and wood-destroying insects are not only a problem for old buildings but also for newer buildings. Their occurrence has a negative effect on the physical and mechanical characteristic of building materials. One of the main causes of biotic pests in buildings is moisture. Remediation of objects in terms of moisture and biotic pests is a frequent subject of solution in construction practice. There are many methods used to remove moisture and inactivate biotic pests, and their use depends on the individual requirements of individual objects. In practice, this problem is dealt with by specialized companies using well-known technologies or further participate in their research. One of the methods used for moisture remediation and inactivation of biotic pests is the irradiation of building structures using EMW radiation. Microwave heating used to dry moisture from building materials is one of the most intensive methods for sterilizing biotic pests, and due to its intensity, it is a time and cost-effective method.
