title: Consistency of gas exchange of man and plants in a closed ecological system:  lines of attack on the problem.
abstract: Gas exchange between man and plants in a closed ecological system based on atmosphere regeneration by plant photosynthesis is made consistent by attaining the equilibrium of human CO2 discharge and the productivity of the gas consuming bioregenerator.  In this case the gas exchange might be, however, qualitatively disturbed from the equilibrium in terms of oxygen making it accumulate or decrease continuously in the air of the system.  Gas exchange equilibrium in terms of O2 was attained in long-term experiments by equality of the human respiration coefficient and the plant assimilation coefficient.  Varying the ratio of these parameters it is possible to control the oxygen concentration in the atmosphere to be reclaimed.
