Can the therapeutic microclimate of salt caves be reproduced in a room without using aerosol generators for supply of a salt aerosol (halogenerators)?
Attempts at reproducing the microclimate of underground salt hospitals (halite, sylvinite ones) in a room began in the mid 1980s. The main thing is to create an air atmosphere containing a dry salt aerosol not below 3-5 mg/m3. Moreover, to obtain a therapeutic effect, this aerosol should contain mostly (over 80%) breathable particles (1-5 µm). The initial method, which is the facing of the walls with salt blocks (halite, sylvinite ones), turned out to be ineffective in creating a therapeutic aerosol environment under limited space conditions of a room. Any salt facing of walls (salt plaster, salt tiles) is not a source of aerosol or air ions. The assertion that walls of salt blocks are a source of aerosol of various substances in therapeutically significant quantities is physically unfounded. Such technical methods as passage of air through a crushed salt rock, ventilation passes, blowing of salt walls are not efficient means of generating aerosol with specific parameters for therapeut
