Exposure to artificial daylight or UV-irradiation (A, B or C) prior to chemical cleaning: an effective combination for removing phototrophs from granite

This study evaluated whether exposing samples of granite colonized by a natural biofilm to artificial daylight or UV-A/B/C irradiation for 48 h enhanced removal of the biofilm with a chemical product previously approved for conservation of monuments by the European Biocide Directive. Rodas granite,...
