Abstract

Рresents a brief comparative analysis of domestic and foreign standards for testing non-metallic materials when interacting with microorganisms. Laboratory methods for analyzing the degree of biodegradation of materials used, among other things, in the test standards for synthetic polymers, are given. The significance of the physical dimensions of polymer samples for the search and testing of microorganism strains for the ability to use the chemical component of the material as a nutrient substrate is shown.
