The paper presents the experimental data obtained on two groups of students, one witness, in two normal classrooms and respectively in the outdoor gymnasium and another in the same type of rooms, but with halochamber regime, differentiated on gender and age, including children born in 2006 and 2007, at the age with the highest growth rate. Starting from the fact that the solions reformulated in situ act on the body through inhalation and absorption at the skin level, it offers a remedy for many conditions, as halotherapy is a complementary and / or alternative method of protecting the airways and improving the morpho-structural characteristics of the skin of the human body. An original system was used to process the experimental data regarding the evolution of the characteristics studied, expressed as a percentage increase, allowed a good highlighting of the effect of saline aerosols/solions on the morpho structural type biometric characteristics (weight, height, thoracic perimeter), pulse and blood pressure in children, depending on age and gender. It has been shown that girls interact more strongly with solions, and register higher values for most of the studied parameters than boys.
