Innovative solution using ion-electronic technology to purify the air from pathogenic microflora and create comfortable living conditions for humans

Abstract

According to the Federal State Statistics Service regarding respiratory diseases in Krasnoyarsk Krai, the increase in this indicator was 6% over the five years, and the increase in oncologic diseases was 4% over the same period. Polluted air is one of the leading causes of the increased incidence. The paper aims to find ways to clean indoor air using ion-electronic technology and bring the microclimate parameters to optimal values in cold and warm seasons. Experimental and theoretical studies substantiated the possibility of developing a device capable of creating and maintaining an air environment in closed premises, close in terms of indicators to the healthy air of ecologically clean regions. The device can have different performance and can be used in domestic, industrial, and public premises. Depending on the mode of operation and purpose, this device can be both stationary and mobile. Fine dust cannot be removed from the room even if the air exchange rate is increased by 200 and 400 times. It has been experimentally proven that ion-electronic technology and volatile matter of woody plants remove dust to achieve a clean room. This concept formed the basis for developing a device using nanotechnology combined with the volatile matter of woody plants. The dependences of the influence of artificial ionization of air and volatile matter of woody plants on reducing the amount of fine dust and pathogenic microflora are theoretically substantiated. The air purified in this way maintains immunity and reduces the incidence of respiratory diseases, which has been proven experimentally based on a prototype of the developed device.
