There is a bounty of evidence documenting the presence of nosocomial
organisms, beyond traditional respiratory pathogens, in hospital air
(Muszlay, Durmaz, Shiomori, Kumari, Munoz-Price, Gao, Shimose). Numerous
bacteria, fungi, and viruses can survive for extended periods of time in
the rela...

Have you ever walked into a room where the sunshine is streaming in through
the window? And if you were to look closely, beyond the beauty of the
light, you could see that there are millions of particles floating,
suspended in the air? So many that you must begin to wonder. Particulates,
pol...

Driscoll Children's Hospital in Corpus Christi faced an issue of high
humidity by launching a comprehensive internal investigation of sourcing
and air sampling. The study sought to determine the impact of an active air
treatment system with a UV-C irradiation chamber on neutralizing airborne ...

http://www.edm-system.com/blog/2016/4/18/consider-the-air A major consideration in the struggle to reduce hospital-associated infections is right in front of your face.

Have you ever walked into a room where the sunshine is streaming in through
the window? And if you were to look closely, beyond the beauty of the
light, you could see that there are millions of particles floating,
suspended in the air? So many that you must begin to wonder. Particulates,
pollen, dander, dust mite debris, and who knows what forms of smoke may be
present. Is the air everywhere like this air?

A recent study featured in the American Journal of Infection Control
identifies hospital air as a potential route of transmission for infections
caused by β-lactam-resistant bacteria. These bacteria are often the cause
of nosocomial (healthcare-associated) infections, and they’re getting
harder to treat effectively. These so called superbugs can become airborne
and are transmissible that way.

Instead of treating the infection once it has occurred, is there a way to
reduce the possibility of an infection ever occurring?Consider the air.One
piece of the environmental milieu is the one we can’t see, but the one,
which can carry bacterial and fungal spores to a susceptible patient.
Cleaning the air with ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) technology
can lower airborne bacteria and fungus. Advances in UVGI delivery systems
have made this proven technology practical and affordable.

Challenged with creating a solution for battling epidemics when resources
are scarce, Baylor Global Innovation Center has created the Emergency Smart
Pod as a modular, low-cost, portable, scalable emergency management
facility. The HRMS is included in the pod as an environmental disinfection
system to reduce the amount of pathogens in the air.
