The Effect of the Flood in 2002 on Microflora of the Sandstone Blocks of Charles Bridge in Prague

Abstract:

The flood in 2002 affected salinity and microflora of surface layers of the sandstone blocks of the Charles Bridge in Prague. The microbial decomposition of the organic contaminants causes a significant decrease of pH value which resulted in the chemical denitrification and, consequently, also in the microbial denitrification of nitrites and nitrates on the sandstone block surface.
