Conformity to hygienic air ion formula of working offices, classrooms and chemistry laboratory in which the work with volatile organic solvents are conducted, as well as to a city apartment and a country house is investigated. Concentration of air ions was measured using the counter «Sapphire 3М». Parameters of the air ionization: concentration of ions of both charges (N and N-, ions/cm3) and unipolarity coefficient (K = N/N-) were evaluated. The quantity of air ions did not correspond to sanitary and hygienic standards in all areas except of a country house. Additional artificial air ionization and ventilation in classrooms and chemistry laboratories offered to use.
