Interview with Prof. YD Provincial all started that day at the show one very distinguished representative of the world-famous company, which manufactures air conditioners, expressed surprise mores of Russian buyers. In our air-conditioners - he says - are biofilters. The term of their work - 3 months. After that, we can not guarantee that the consumer will be protected from exposure to pathogenic bacteria, which readily proliferate in the moist coolness of the air-conditioning innards. However, - he wondered - even after several years of deafening in terms of sales, none of the dealers had not ordered any filter! Although the firm, as they say, warned Hearing that, we too were surprised and rushed to the dealer for clarification. Explained to us as follows: The Russian perceive air conditioning as a "closed" and does not need to maintain the subject. When, after three months of operation, the instrument illuminates a red light, indicating that it is time to change the filter, the Russian simply presses a button and the light bulb goes off. For another three months. And so on ... While no one complained. Or maybe you can not really change that most filter? - We thought. - He's worth it, taint, $ 20-30. Why spend the extra money? You never know what is written in the instructions! But the worm of doubt remained. And to clarify the sanitary features of the air conditioner, our correspondent Andrey asked the professor, MD, Head of the Laboratory of Integrated Ecological and hygienic evaluation of residential and public buildings Yuri Dmitrievich provincial. Corr.: Yury Zhukov, you - an expert on ecology and hygiene of residential and public buildings. It is believed that the air conditioning is something harmful to health. Is it really so? JD: Imagine, yes. For example, few would suspect that the cause of headache, fatigue, fatigue - installed in your home or office a modern air-conditioning. It would seem that conditions are quite comfortable - cool, not stuffy ... And people are affected. And not just a banal cold. There have been cases where people died. Corr.: Is it all so seriously? JD: It is quite serious. In the literature, for example, describes an epidemic caused by the bacteria Legionella pneumophilla, which cause pneumonia or fever, there is high fever, headache and muscle pain. Medium reproduction of these microorganisms was water flowing down into the tray with the air conditioner evaporator. That same water that drips sometimes on the heads of passers-by. The first such case was registered in 1976 in the U.S., then fell ill, 182 have died and 29 people. A disease outbreaks tend to recur. Certainly, and physicians, and manufacturers of modern air conditioning systems are now working on the problem of preventing such outbreaks. And as long as people continue to buy air conditioners and use them ... But once we started talking about the problems of HVAC equipment, then let's look at everything in order. For the first time such a machine first used in printing at the beginning of the century: it was necessary to maintain the desired temperature and relative humidity. And that, the first air conditioner, not intended for human needs, and to maintain the paper in the desired condition. Much later, when the era of prosperity and comfort, began to produce vehicles and for people, they who were supposed to create optimal conditions for work and leisure. It was necessary to solve two main tasks: To maintain optimum temperature and relative humidity, and depending on time of day and season (winter or summer), these parameters must be different. Optimal microclimate parameters in different seasons of the year are: in the cold season - the air temperature 21-22 ° C, relative humidity 45-30%, air velocity 0.1 meters per second, and in summer - the air temperature 22-25 ° C , relative humidity 30-55%, air velocity 0.15 meters per second. Another important enough microclimatic parameter - the velocity of the air in the room - from 0,1 to 0,15 meters per second. If your air conditioner "has violated these terms" and did not create optimal health regime, you are (at least) are experiencing discomfort, worsening the risk of getting allergies and even chronic diseases. If you assume, incorrectly using a conditioning regimen, the risk to go beyond the thermal comfort. If there is a shift of thermal equilibrium of the body, which means you overheated or low, there is a general weakening of the body's resistance, reduced immunity, which in turn can stimulate the development of diseases such as catarrh of the upper respiratory tract, rheumatism, tonsillitis, neuralgia. Uncomfortable microclimatic conditions aggravates the course of cardiovascular diseases and metabolic diseases, accelerate the development of fatigue during physical and mental work, and slow recovery processes during the rest of man. All this happens when the air conditioner is used in forced mode of heating or cooling or frequently moving from air-conditioned room on the street and back. Corr.: It's all the consequences of temperature jumps, and that if the machine is heavily is blowing? JD: In this case there is a danger as the dryness of the skin and mucous membranes of the respiratory tract. And here, besides discomfort, a general reduction of sensitivity to various kinds of diseases. Corr.: But you will agree, because air conditioners were created for the benefit of JD: Of course! But in fact the principle of the air conditioner is the same as in the refrigerator: the cold component is subtracted from one environment and transferred to another. Home refrigerator heats the air around him, chilling with the products inside. So did the air conditioner. But producing cold, refrigerator keeps foods. Preserve human health is much more difficult. Corr.: I really do not like a loaf of sausage and, in my opinion, much better than a piece of cheese JD: Exactly. The human body needs in a natural atmosphere. If it (the air) do not have such natural components as ions and ozone, it is sure to be a bad effect on health and human health. The same problems arise because of air pollution. Corr.: And that clears the air conditioner does not? JD: not so good clean! Corr.: But you know that there are some air quality standards for residential premises? JD: Absolutely. And chief among them - This is a guest and CH (sanitary norms). They established the maximum permissible concentration (MPC) of hazardous substances. These substances around 1300 (!), And this list is not exhaustive. Corr.: So over time there are new? JD: Indeed, under certain circumstances, passing through the air conditioner, even "harmless" chemicals can be transformed in unanticipated ways. In addition, recent medical note the wide spread of "multiple chemical sensitivity syndrome» (Multiple Chemical Sensitivity - MCS). That is the cause of the disease is not a specific chemical, and their random, unpredictable combination. As a result, disrupts the normal functioning of the immune and central nervous systems. Corr.: What can we do to our perishing from the heat to the readers? Do without air conditioning or you can still pick up the model is not as destructive to their health? JD: Did you ask the manufacturers and sellers. May already be something invented. In the meantime, we'll come to the conclusion that the domestic air-conditioners do not add fresh air from outside into the room. It is only by industrial and semi-industrial machines - the so-called system of central air conditioning. They are more expensive household at 10 and even 100 times. As I have said, good, "healthy" the air must be absolutely certain of. It should present useful components and absent hazardous contaminants. If your home is located in a clean, beautiful place (at your windows, park or forest), you're lucky, just open the window - and the problem of fresh clean air is almost solved. But what happens when the fresh air it is simply impossible: the windows - a busy highway, industrial enterprise or your home is gassed in the center of Moscow? Then, to remove impurities in ventilation and air conditioning systems are used such methods of air cleaning as the mechanical, electrical and chemical. The first two methods is mainly purify the air from mechanical particles and dust, and chemical cleaning of the most valuable for the capture of toxic chemicals. Corr.: But the mesh and charcoal filters installed in some models of residential split-systems, can solve these problems? JD: Yes, but what air they work? Just the fact that inside the room, the air must be supplied to the premises clean and fresh, and in amounts not less than 60 cubic meters per hour per person, in other words, to breathe easy, air per hour should switch five times! Only in this case, the air will be filled with such essential person ions, ozone and volatile production. Volatile - aromatic substances to facilitate breathing. Their isolated plants, therefore, for example, so good to breathe in the pine forest. Corr.: The number of these components are also defined by some standards? JD: Absolutely. These standards are based on scientific research, and if you do not comply, it could put your health at risk unnecessarily. For example, studies have shown that in the air constantly contains light and heavy ions (positively or negatively charged molecules of the chemicals and compounds). Here are the data of sanitary and hygienic standards of CH 2152-80: Number of Levels of light positive ions in 1 cc The number of lung air of negative ions in 1 cc The minimum required air 400600 Optimum 1500 - 3000 3000 - 5000 maximum allowable 50,000 50,000 This is the number of light-ion impact on air quality such as "freshness", also called "air vitamins". A heavy ions - these are the same molecule, but settled on the material particles, and they have a negative effect on the human body, because when we breathe, the portion of light-ion becomes heavier (which is why in a crowded room so hard to breathe - the air stuffy and stale ). Moreover, the light ions are absorbed and room surfaces (materials and coatings, furniture, clothing). So, while air conditioning is the level of "useful" light-ion is reduced by another 35-40%! The loss of ions compensated or artificial ionization, or natural flow of air from the outside (in other words, if you ventilate the room). However, ionization will have a positive effect only on one indispensable condition - if it is sustained temperature of thermal comfort - 20-22 ° C! At lower or higher temperatures, the ionization becomes ineffective. Artificial ionization can even be harmful if in the air, for example, too much dust or toxic substances, in which case we ionizing (and hence - will intensify) and harmful impurities, too, so they quickly penetrate the human body. In addition, the dust - is an ideal breeding ground for pathogens and it is easy to imagine what effect would such artificial ionization! Corr. Q: What happens to the ozone in air conditioning? JD: What level ozone - an important and useful component of the air, you know I think pretty much everything. Suffice it to recall how we feel in excellent health after a summer thunderstorm ... This is no accident. The main negative light ions in the atmosphere are a particular ions of ozone (O3-), while the main positive - ions of nitrogen oxides (NO +). So, in a closed air-conditioned room main contribution to the maintenance of light ions ions make water vapor (H2O-and H2O +). The concentration of O3-down in the 30-70 times, and NO + - only 3-6 times. Thus, we see that the composition of natural air and its initial properties are changed again, and not for the better. Corr.: So, we buy ourselves household air conditioner, which is quite expensive, but not solve the problem JD: Yes. To restore the natural balance of the composition of air, only a few domestic air conditioner - you need to spend money again on "the acquisition of the ions. In other words, you need to buy additional ozone generator, a mercury-quartz lamp or device, using a spark discharge. But be warned: these systems should produce only ions within acceptable levels, which we have already spoken. In addition, we will not mention another important side effect of conditioning - the noise. Limit values ??of noise - 45 decibels - the night and up to 55 decibels - the day. But, I stress that this measure of the total noise in the room! That is an extreme limit, which is emerging from the noise of our conversations, and the noise that arises from the peculiarities of room acoustics, and noise from operating equipment (including air-conditioning). Consequently, your air conditioner must make a noise far below the acceptable "overall" limit noise! Nominal noise limits for different modes of air-conditioning must be specified in the instruction manual. Corr.: It turns out that many domestic air-conditioners can not maintain the required health parameters of the microclimate. And why the state and, in particular, the Ministry of Health does not control the manufacture and sale of HVAC equipment? JD: So far, unfortunately, there is no legislative basis for mandatory sanitary certification of household air conditioners. Certificates are issued, but inspections are not the parameters of the microclimate created by these devices, and devices themselves - for compliance with safety, reliability and performance apparatus defined modes. Currently preparing a legislative package, which includes and financial levers of pressure on unscrupulous manufacturers and retailers HVAC equipment. In principle, our laboratory provides hygiene certificates on the state of the environment of residential and public buildings. But without the law such a certificate only information for reflection, not a legal document. And when our thoughtful Duma finally adopt these laws, health will be added not only corrosive of our correspondents, but also among other trusting the Russians. From the Editors: This interview has caused near panic and could not go unanswered by the manufacturers of HVAC equipment. Is air-conditioning, without which the hot summer just can not do, so dangerous? Is the world science and technology with such scorn to our health? Is it dangerous air conditioner? Semen tsadiks doubt is investigating and discovers that everything is much better than he thought at first ... With all due respect to doctors, I know that some of the tricks of their profession are preserved without any change from the time of shamanism. Rather cynically picking our precious intestines, doctors like to scare the uninitiated risks that only they, healers can win. Hence the mysterious Latin on recipes, and clever names of even the most common diseases. I certainly recognize the scientific achievements of Professor Provincial. And what's more, ready to sign the his every word as he told the truth, nothing but the truth and nothing but the truth. The only question is how to apply this truth. When before publication we have shown the reasoning of Yuri Dmitrievich a reputable company - manufacturer of air conditioners, they behaved as if there was a doomsday. "You killed the air conditioning market in Russia" - the voice of a sales manager, wringing his fingers. "The horror, the nightmare - for what you did wrong with us?" - To kill other members and the Director-General gave the order protection will not let our correspondents, even at the threshold. In this reaction, there is something strange. Indeed, people frequently live in captivity stereotypes and suspicion in all technical updates malicious trick. History knows many examples of the invention have been persecuted under completely false pretenses. For example, in England after one of the first car accidentally ran over some careless citizen, a law was passed requiring that remain in front of each car walked a man with a red flag, warning passersby of the danger. Of course, the technique can be harmful. If you poke his head into a running microwave oven, brains explode. And if you drink a glass of ethylene dichloride, it does not help even the widely advertised on TV product "Imudon. Death is inevitable. However, it is inevitable anyway. So what? Smoking is harmful.

And if you drink a glass of ethylene dichloride, it does not help even the widely advertised on TV product "Imudon. Death is inevitable. However, it is inevitable anyway. With or without air conditioning. But let us return to our sheep. Mass death of Americans from the "legionnaire's disease" is associated with air conditioning. Bind because of dangerous bacteria multiplied by the unit casing. Is not in the usual dirt under the nails laboratory of Professor Provincial not detect Escherichia coli or V. cholerae? A detailed bacteriological analysis in my mouth. And immediately cease to understand why you are still alive. Nevertheless, after a scandal in 1976, and followed him trials, after the astronomical sums of insurance compensation, which had to pay all those affected (as well as everyone who thought that hurt, or that could be affected in the future) business transformation conditioner in perfect health unit has become a matter of honor, valor and heroism for all producers. All the more surprising that our appeal to first got air-conditioning company caused an explosion of emotions. On the editorial board we decided to keep silent about its title. You never know what! Maybe the guys was just a bad day. Nevertheless, signs of confusion in the minds of those who buys or sells air-conditioners are available. On the one hand, all producers and sellers have all the required certificates under the law. On the other - they are clearly terrified vague threats, it is not clear how outbound. It is unclear threats and delivers major nuisance. Because no specific accusations against ANY SPECIFIC CONDITIONER never sounded! It seems that we are dealing with a typical recent case of panic in the consumer market. The mechanism of its origin roughly as follows. Assume the plant, which produces soft drinks, one worker has changed his wife. Obsessed with rueful reflections, he did something wrong. As a result, a dozen bottles got some stuff. Bottles of trash on the evil confluence of circumstances drove to the store. Twenty people poisoned. And off we go. Immediately concludes that the dangers of this brand of soda in general. Newspapers and television in pursuit of a story to inflate the ratings on a cosmic scale. Officials with anxious faces close plants reputable company in several countries. Grandmother, who, regardless of nationality, always behave the same way, whispering on the bench and are not subject to appeal verdict: no soda can not drink any more, because it is impossible, and that's it! Months pass. During this time, completely invisible to the grandmothers and the media, which are rarely interested in what else, if you can not show more dead bodies and naked ass, serious scientists make up a consultation, test and retest of soda. It turns out that, as expected, soda - is perfectly safe. You can drink it. The accident occurred. The conclusion is - to fine the company for insufficiently careful control of production and put the plant under the supervision of an independent commission for awhile. Meanwhile, everyone already forgotten about this sad story. Continue to drink sodas. No one gets sick. Once the company has suffered terrible losses. Of course, honored. We return to the air-conditioning Assume definitely proven that a citizen of the Russian Federation became ill and died. And know for certain that the cause of his death served as a conditioner brand NN. So what? After all the allegations made against no air conditioning at all. And if the notorious Russian has died from what is shoved two fingers in the socket? Chubais will accuse of genocide of the Russian people with electricity? No, our task is to determine whether a specific model of the firm NN so outrageously bad set up. If it turns out that the fears are confirmed, it is necessary in public, with a whooping, bait manufacturers and cover the firm an indelible disgrace. "But why break chairs?" - Inquired as Gogol's immortal character. In the world today are sold each year and installed more than 34 million air-conditioners. And sales are increasing at the expense of countries acceding to the path of progress. In the U.S., where air conditioners are in almost every hut, they sold 8.6 million. So what do the Americans - are fools? Well, no. All that we know about this country, says that Americans unusually health-conscious. This is the only country in the world, whose citizens are almost quit. And no amount of money tobacco monopoly could not keep them from doing so. Smoking is harmful. It is a fact that does not require confirmation. However, anyone who tried to quit smoking knows that it needs extraordinary determination. It means to struggle with conditioning, Americans are simply not enough gunpowder? And maybe the fact that it is not so bad as some believe? Let's look at the facts in all known cases of epidemics became a hotbed of contagion CONVERTED central air conditioning system. In this system, the air cooled in a so-called chamber irrigation - a large room with a cascading flow of water through which air passes. It is because of unsanitary conditions in these "car washes" and multiply bacteria, which then spread through the air ducts. In modern household split-system air conditioners and network is impossible in principle. The water is actually formed, but it is nothing like condensate, or simply put, the dew. In chemical composition - it is usual with distilled water. Its temperature - 00C. And a minute later it completely leaves the air conditioner through the drainage system. Under such conditions, microorganisms have no chance. In addition, in modern devices installed multilevel air cleaning system, which not only eliminates the compulsive cigarette smoke, but retains the dust particles of microscopic size. For example, in air-conditioners "Daikin" is a filter that catches the mote as much in a hundredth of a micron. And the Samsung, have made their motto "Bio", has developed a special coating inside and outside the air-conditioner, which do not reproduce any fungi or bacteria. What in the wording there is evidence in the form of test results in certain laboratories in the USA. The famous system of filters "DAIKIN" The depth of treatment - 0.01 micron test conditioners Bio-Tech Samsung in the presence of bacteria in the test laboratory FITI at 25 ° C for 24 hours air-conditioning filter cleaning air conditioner with heat exchanger, air-conditioning pre-conditioner filter with a drain pan Korean experts are confident in the reliability of his biofilters Regarding drafts Maybe you'll be disappointed. But none of the air conditioner in the world does not help ventilate the room. Talk about systems with leak-fresh air, "nothing more than a publicity stunt. Remember always: Air conditioning - is one thing, ventilation - something quite different. Of course, clears the air conditioner, but it only works with what is already inside. If you have the impression that such air will be "dead", open the window. Air, which burst into the room, no doubt will be "alive", with the whole "life" and chemical "undead", which, in outdoor air normally contains. This air will actually be no "fresh", but simply - a new, yet to clean up the air conditioner. To air in the room did not stand, some advanced models generate a smooth air flow, which, while not creating any drafts, under the special scheme stirred the air. The movable cone and blinds can reject the air stream up to 120 degrees in either direction. One click on the button on the remote control - and coolness will be evenly distributed around the room, without any drafts. If the weather is warm the air conditioning was turned off, for example, in the office at night, then go to the acceptable temperature can be very fast due to the turbo mode. However, at this moment the air is moving much more rapidly, and hence there is a risk of cold. To avoid this, use a special timer that at the appointed hour, he will include air conditioning, rapidly cools the room and calm atmosphere, "just in time for your arrival. They say that air conditioning noise, any electrical device in which something turns and moves, can not run totally silent. Noise level - also not an absolute value. And a tractor "Belarus" and "Mercedes engine installed, which is based on similar principles. But the noise level is completely different. The same "Daikin is not in vain is air-conditioned class HI-FI. Its design is implemented the latest noise reduction system. Air Conditioning literally "whispers", in contrast, by the way, from other, less sophisticated models. Some citizens are attacked besides the neighbors who saw the wall AC split system and complain that now they can not sleep. Especially for them to announce that the outer blocks of many systems, too sovremnnyh noise is much quieter than normal on the sanitary norms. So that his neighbors lost sleep for some other reason. Here again, we want to draw your attention to the fact that the air conditioner air conditioner strife. We did not dispute the fact that the market you can turn up at a reasonable price the unit obsolete, or just clumsy design. And most of the former long-time use, with clogged filters, systems and raped by and large no-good. However, as you well know it. You do not absolutely trust the quality and the name of, say, a sausage. You never know what "Doctor". You did check, where it is, not whether the storage period has expired, and indeed, whether tasty. With air conditioning, the citizens - the same story. Should be carefully, carefully! Meanwhile, there are also people who are afraid of what is in the air conditioner freon suddenly breaks out outside and will poison them. Coolant in air conditioners normal harmless. Freon, for example, contained in a popular and approved by the Ministry of Health of medicine "kameton", which you bravely squirt himself in the throat with angina. Would be better if these concerned citizens have called in and asked the Ministry of Emergency Situations Sergei Shoigu to save them from their grandfather's refrigerator, which is really a time bomb. Here I would like to add that, in general, discussing the technical or medical pros and cons of air conditioning, we somehow forgotten that these devices invented because humanity they desperately needed. You can lament the fact that cars pollute the environment. But to make you ever go to the country on foot, and all "grinpisovskie sentiments like a hand lift. But compared with the car air conditioner is not more harmful than the coffee maker. Furthermore, overheating of the body much ruinous to health, rather than imaginary dangers of refrigeration equipment. In such an inferno, as were present in summer or impossible to work or personal life - no. Tell me, what could be lovers gusts at 30 degrees in the shade? If you are 17 years of age, then of course there is a chance. And if the hormones did not play well and the heat is four weeks in a row? Without air conditioning can not do. And the mood will improve and feel better. And objectively. This is well known and so experienced in the construction business man, as Yuri Luzhkov, because of his "blessing" air-conditioners are installed not only at City Hall, but also a country residence. Not lagging behind the leader of the Motherland "and the Foreign Intelligence Service, which also agree that knows a lot. Anyway, Lubyanka knows for certain that the castle of Queen Elizabeth II of air conditioners no one got sick. Moreover, the benefit of air conditioning in the "seasonable weather" fully shares the Moscow Patriarchate. And even if it is authoritative testimony did not touch you, you know - a miracle of modern technology with a calm heart, recently installed in the enclosures of the Moscow Zoo. In an interview with a professor called for the province to introduce one additional certification of air conditioners. This time on the parameter has a microclimate that they create. We think that in this case, the drafters of the law expect significant difficulties. After all, the fact is that the microclimate develops not only as a result of the air conditioner. Room itself, its scope and content play an important if not decisive role. In addition, air-conditioner - an apparatus which can operate in different modes. And the climate depends not only on its design, but also human actions to control it. In addition, the requirements for the microclimate of the room a long time and so are regulated by State standards and SNIP. Therefore, taking into account that for our fellow air-conditioning while still a new device and not all yet understand its structure, nature of the impact on the atmosphere of the room, as well as the need for maintenance and timely replacement or cleaning the filters, we feel it necessary to simply attach to each product you sell apparatus "Terms of Use air conditioning to achieve a healthy climate." Then the problems and complaints will be much less. And for our loyal readers - another important consideration. After the construction and repair of the dwelling in the air for a long time maintained all sorts of rubbish. Shrinkage and materials outage lasts sometimes for years. Air Conditioning can help you get rid of excessive moisture drying concrete structures, odors lacquers and paints, dust and fumes. So when planning a renovation, do not forget to add in the estimated air conditioning. Naturally, a reliable, proven brands. Appeals seeds tsadikova all interested parties: Comrades, scientists and technicians! Let's get it over with omissions and suspicions! Fellow supporters and opponents of air conditioning! Objectively, in an open debate on the pages of our magazine, we consider all the pros and cons! Fellow statesmen! If something needs to be certification, let's certified! Fellow consumers! If the unit is not working as it should, once again, carefully review the instructions for its use before you call them on TV! Fellow readers! Make everything your own opinion!
