A new technology of producing eco-vegetables with utmost low contents of – in the first place - nitrates has been elaborated, namely the technology of growing up hothouse vegetables and greenery cultivars for diet food. The technology is based on the generation of a special gas medium in a closed space. The gas medium is presented by an aerosol, i.e. by a mixture of gases and of solid particles of various chemical compounds. The said medium is generated by a special solid fuel generator charged with the condensed high energetic system which after ignition develops incineration process on the principle of self-propagating high energetic synthesis. As a result, plants being for two hours in the regulated gas medium, receive all substances as nanoparticles of inorganic compounds of B, Mo, Mn, Mg, Cu and others which are necessary for the metabolic activity. The gas composition changes also: fractions of nitrogen and of carbonic acid gas increase. The contents of oxygen and of water vapours are controlled, too. All this enables to drastic activate the gas exchange between plants and the medium.

Experiments have been conducted on a number of cultivars: onion, lettuce, dill and parsley. Investigations were fulfilled in film-covered soils under temperature, humidity and light exposure conditions recommended for these cultivars.

Seeds of the said cultivars were planted into the soil comprised of peat and of wooden sawdust (50:50). At the commencement of experiments, a sample of the soil was taken for the identification of nitrate contents. In the course of experiments, mineral fertilizers were not delivered through the root system of plants, the plants were only sprinkled with water taken from the 87 meter-deep water well. Plants were not fed additionally with water solutions of mineral fertilizers neither through the foliage nor through the root system. Instead of all this, the regulated gas medium was daily created by the incineration of a certain mass (0,5 g per 1 m2 of greenhouse area) of the mineral complex.

During the vegetation process – in 20 days and in 40 days – the grown up plants were examined on nitrate contents. Nitrates were chosen as a base since their mass fraction is maximal. The alteration in the nitrate concentration was proportionally correlated to the concentration of heavy metals, of toxic substances and of radioactive compounds.

Results obtained in an accredited food testing laboratory showed: the nitrate contents in product samples were 10-20 times lower as compared to the approved sanitary standards.

The experiment on the use of the regulated gas medium with special properties was repeated thrice. Results of analyses on nitrate contents coincided almost completely. The

nitrate contents in vegetables produced according to the mineral complex technology are shown in the Table 1.

Nitrate contents,	Cucumbers		Parsley		Spring onions
mg/kg	Standard	Fact	Standard	Fact	Standard	Fact
Variant 1	400	56,7	2000	231	800	14,6
Variant 2	400	42,4	2000	126	800	73

Thus, the technology of producing eco-vegetables characterized by the 10-20 time-lowered contents of harmful, toxic and radioactive substances and of heavy metals, by means of the use of the regulated gas medium generated by the special solid fuel generator has been created and explored on a number of cultivars.
