Experiments were carried out in bacteriologic and fumigation chambers to restrict the microbial contamination of the air on industrial premises via artificial ionization of the air or aerosol spraying of water and disinfectants. It was shown that the differential application of artificial ionization of air was appropriate in that the demands of the technology aiming at maximum stimulation of productivity were met as suggested by the authors. Besides, this technology provided for the treatment of air of high concentration of air ions coming in the outer space at the rate of 150-200 thou per cu. cm3 from production premises. It is expedient to practise the aerosol dispersion of water in the production buildings for the cell raising of birds as an opportunity for limiting the microbial contamination of air and the lowering of the unfavourable effect of high summer temperatures. It was found that in this country's conditions of industrial poultry raising most rational was the use of lactic acid at the rate of 0.004 per cu. m air, used as a 0.002 percent solution.
