"The results of many years of microbiological research conducted onboard the Mir orbital space station and the International Space Station have shown that the Potok decontamination units are an effective means for ensuring biological purity and air safety. They inactivate microorganisms that form the microflora of the environment of manned spacecraft and keep the air in a normalized sanitary and microbiological state."
