Aeroionization of educational premises and its role in providing a comfortable microclimate

Students and teachers spend a significant part of their time indoors, so the problem of ensuring a comfortable microclimate is becoming especially relevant. One of the factors affecting human well-being and performance is air quality, in particular, its ionic composition. Aeroionization is the process of saturation of air with negatively or positively charged ions, which affect the physiological state of a person. In enclosed spaces, the concentration of aeroions is often insufficient, which can lead to deterioration in well-being, decreased concentration and increased fatigue. The article discusses the mechanism of aeroionization, including the physical and chemical processes underlying the formation of aeroions. In addition, devices that allow you to assess the level of air ionization in a room are considered. The study included measurements of the level of aeroions in various classrooms. The results showed that in most cases the concentration of air ions in closed spaces is significantly lower than the optimal level required to maintain a comfortable microclimate. Based on the data obtained, the authors of the article offer recommendations for improving the ionic composition of air in classrooms. In particular, it is recommended to use ionizers in combination with ventilation and air conditioning systems. The importance of regular monitoring of the level of air ions using specialized devices is also emphasized, which will allow timely detection and elimination of problems associated with insufficient air ionization.
