Selection of resistant species of indoor plants for the health improvement the air environment of interiors

Our studies show that at low illuminance, close to the light compensation point, plants of all studied species ( Plectranthus amboinicus (Lour.) Spreng, Rhoicissus rhomboidea (E. Mey. ex Harv.) Planch., Elettaria cardamomum (L.) Maton) have a smaller total leaves area and decorative qualities, they not antimicrobial activity. Plants grown under illuminance from 500 2000 lux, depending on species, form large above-ground biomass, live several times longer, pronounced phytoncidal effect (antimicrobal activity) air microflora Staphylococcus aureus. The maximum activity E. , P. R. are observed an lux (respectively 29 %, 36 % 24 %). Phytoncidal decreases 2-3 with decline in level Indian borage, as more light-loving plant, it disappears altogether. (Indian borage) is 32% relation aureus strain 209- Phytocompositions resistant indoor reduce number microorganisms classrooms secondary school by 45% -58%, ones primary - 5.2-7.3 times.
