Abstract—In this paper, the behavior of industrial portland cement clinker under influence of atmosphere con-
ditions was studied. Industrial clinkers are characterized by a complex chemical and mineralogical composi-
tion. The samples of the polycomponent materials were inoculated with a number of special biological agents.
Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray powder diffraction were used in order to detect the first deteriorative
study of materials.
