Environmental compatibility of construction materials and their impact onto the human organism and the environment are the essential factors to be taken account of in the course of construction. Therefore, natural renewable biological polymers arouse interest. Polysaccharide chitin takes a special position among them. It represents one of the most widely spread biological polymers; it is extracted from 100% renewable materials. It is part of the external skeleton of crustaceans and insects, and it also part of cell walls of mushrooms and algae. Any research of potential materials to be generated from chitin and its derivative chitosan may involve a practical implementation. The research of the antistatic properties followed the introduction of 1% of chitosan into the cement composition. Electrostatic field intensity was measured by Electrostatic Field Intensity Meter ST-01. The electrostatic property of the sample modified by chitosan turned out to be lower than the one of the benchmark sample by 5.6 times. The presence of chitosan in the cement composition makes no impact on strength-related properties of the construction material. The cement composition modified by chitosan may be used in the manufacturing of antistatic self-leveling floors.

The objective of this research is to study the fungicidal properties of the cement composition
modified by chitosan (deacetylation rate - 95%, molecular weight - 200 kDm (MM 2,7x105)). The
optimal concentration of chitosan is identified so that its infusion into the cement paste did not deteriorate
the physical and mechanical characteristics, structure and composition of the latter. The
authors have identified that the infusion of 1% chitosan (in relation to the cement mass) into the
cement composition is optimal. It has resulted in (1) the slight improvement of the strength properties
of modified samples, (2) the reduction of dimensions of the porous space alongside with the
increase in the number of gel pores (20%), (3) the reduction of the number of capillary pores (5%).
The other subject of this research represents interaction of 1% (and lower concentrations of)
chitosan with calcium hydroxide. No interaction between 2% chitosan and calcium hydroxide is
identified. The conclusion is that the infusion of 1% chitosan into the cement composition provides
it with fungicidal and fungistatic properties, while the strength characteristic of the cement paste is
slightly improved.
