Matveichuk Yu.V., PhD, Chief Technologist of LLC «Himway», Minsk, Republic of Belarus

Coli, and a fungus ‒ black mold. The main ways of their transmission in everyday life include contact-household (through contaminated objects ‒ door and window handles, personal hygiene products, telephone receivers, railings, computer peripherals, taps, etc.); airborne (when an infected person coughs, sneezes, and even talks); food (for example, raw food or poorly cooked food); failure to observe
