Sumario:Abstract. The samples of air were taken in 122 shops with the split air conditioning systems. The unfavorable changes of air quality were detected after switching of air-conditioning systems. Before switching of the air-conditioning systems, the provisionally pathogenic and pathogenic bacteria in the air were presented in 6.4% of samples, the mould fungi — in 27.8%, the yeast fungi — in 5.7%. After 30 minutes of split-systems operation, the provisionally pathogenic and pathogenic bacteria were found in 97.5% samples, mould fungi — in 72.1% and the yeast fungi — in 27.9%. Moreover, the species diversity of microorganisms in indoor air, after switching of split-system, was fully corresponded (100%) to the microflora of biofilms in internal block of the split-systems. Variants, in which microorganisms isolated from the biofilm in the condensate removal system after the switching split-systems was absent in premises air, were not determined. Thus, the microflora, which forms the biofilm in the condensate removal system, is a source of air pollution in the premises, where the split system were installed.
