Abstract
Microbiological research of the collection of book cabinets in the Wladyslaw Grabski Library. Through the ability to adapt to most conditions, mold is capable of colonizing most technical materials. In the case of libraries, mold generally inhabits wooden cabinets, parts of books, papers and other materials rich with nutrients. This study was motivated by the emergence of efflorescence in book collections and on the wooden walls of the libraries' cabinets in SGGW Library. The sampling method used on the gravitational sedimentation of biological aerosol to the medium. Identification was made on the basis of micro- and macro observation. The identification has allowed to determine the following molds: Penicillium chryzogenum, Penicillium meleagrinum, and Acremonium charticola. All of the listed species can cause human disease, therefore it is necessary to pay attention to the influence of molds both on the book collection but also on human health. After concluding the research and the analysis of the results, the book collections were fumigated with S-9 gas, and the cabinets were sterilized using10% sterinol
