Ensure of epidemiological safety of premises of medical organizations

Objective: to assess the microbial contamination of the air environment (MCAE) in the premises of medical organizations and the efficiency of the method for its reduction. Research methods. A device for air conditioning o a closed room has been developed, which prevents the ingress of bacteria into the air and has a bactericidal effect. A solution of lithium chloride was used as the active substance. The content of lithium chloride with the device in operation was determined. The influence of bischofite as an active substance on the microbial contamination of the air was studied. The microbial contamination of the air was assessed before and after the operation of the air conditioner. Research results. A decrease in the microbial contamination of the air was revealed after the operation of the air conditioning device when using both lithium chloride and bischofite as the active substance. At the same time, no hazardous concentrations of substances for humans were detected in the air of the premises. Conclusion. The air conditioning device has shown high efficiency when operating in medical premises. At the same time, its design prevents the active substance from entering the environment, ensuring a reliable reduction in microbial contamination.
