[A comparative study of efficiency of units designed for air sampling].
An analysis of a majority of cases of proliferation of pathogens and of contamination of personnel is indicative of the leading role of the air medium. At the same time, there is no, now, serial production of autonomous and portable air sampling devices. The purpose of the present study was to design the technical devices of a new type and to test their efficiency as compared with already known methods, equipment and devices. We worked out autonomous and portable devices of the bubble and impactor types. Comparative studies of the already known and newly designed devices point at feasibility for further studies of the construction of the latter and for the started tests; the studies also suggest that the spheres of usage of equipment designed by us could be expanded, which is confirmed by the obtained experimental data. There are reasons to believe that the devices in question could be used not only in experimental conditions but also in field studies.
