The aim of this study was to analyze microbial pollution and composition of the air in the meat waste processing plant. The analysis was carried out 3 times. Air samples for microbiological analysis were collected in 4 control points in plant area: in “dirty sector” - in sectional hall, in “clean" sector - destructors’ hall and product magazine, and outside the object, I.e., 100 m from the edge of the site. The study showed a relatively high air microbial contamination of facility and its surroundings. In composition of the microbial species there were detected Gram - positive bacteria, including staphylococci and streptococci, Gram-negative bacteria and coryneforms. Among the mold fungi, the presence of the genus Penicillium, Aspergillus, Fusahum, Acremonium, Ulocladium, Botryotrichum and Cladosporium was identified.
