What is Inorganic, organic and biological contamination? 

Inorganic contamination involves non-living materials deposited onto concrete surfaces, originating from external sources or internal deterioration processes.  

Organic contamination refers to living or once-living matter on concrete surfaces, such as vegetation growth or biological activity.  

Biological contamination specifically entails the growth and activity of living organisms like algae, mould, fungi, or bacteria on concrete surfaces. 

How does Inorganic, organic and biological contamination damage concrete structures? 

Inorganic contamination, such as corrosion products from steel reinforcement, can weaken concrete structures, compromising their load-bearing capacity and leading to structural failure.  

Organic and biological contaminants accelerate deterioration processes, reducing concrete durability against moisture and chemical exposure, while also marring aesthetic appearance.  

Additionally, biological contamination poses health risks due to allergens or toxins released by mould, fungi, and bacteria growth.  

Regular maintenance and cleaning procedures are essential to mitigate these risks.
