Effect of gaseous chlorine dioxide on indoor microbial contaminants
Traditional and modern techniques for bioaerosol enumeration were used to evaluate the relative efficiency of gaseous chlorine dioxide (ClO2) in reducing the indoor microbial contamination under field and laboratory conditions. The field study was performed in a highly microbially contaminated house, which had had an undetected roof leak for an extended period of time and exhibited large areas of ...

The Key To Controlling Airborne Contamination In Food Processing
In the food and beverage industry, contamination is always a high priority concern. Small mistakes in handling, preparation, and even in the cleaning of the environment where food comes into contact with surfaces can cause disastrous results that can potentially affect hundreds of thousands of people. Often overlooked is the threat from another source of food contact: air. Air is an Ingredient ...

Feasibility Study of an Express Assessment Protocol for the Indoor Air Quality of Air-conditioned Offices
It is costly to sample all major toxic pollutants in community air. Sampling should be conducted based on an assessment strategy and monitoring planning. Assessment methods that rely on monitoring some representative pollutants have been proposed variously at different times. In Hong Kong, the Environmental Protection Department (HKEPD) launched an Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) certification scheme to ...

vBoeing`s research shows that ionizer air cleaning simply doesn`t work
Ionizer technology comes under a range of names: "ionizing air purifiers", "bi-polar ionization", "air ionizers", "ion generators" and "ionic air purifiers". Additionally, there are air purifiers called “electrostatic air purifiers" which work similarly to ionizers. Collectively, they are termed "ionizers". Ionizers make multiple claims about how well they will clean the air in your ...

Introduction to HEPA Filter Characteristics
In general, laminar flow refers to the layering of indoor air. Efficient air filters, such as those used in cleanrooms, allow dust particles to move within this laminar flow. This means that dust particles are carried by the air. In cleanrooms and controlled environments within air conditioning systems, efficient air filters create a non-laminar flow, meaning that suspended particles in the air ...

Texas Mold Inspections by Texas Licensed Mold Consultant with No Conflict of Interest
Texas Mold Inspections and Mold Remediation Many Texas Mold Assessment Consultants also do mold remediation. The Texas regulations on Licensed Mold Consultants do not prevent mold inspections and mold remediation being performed by the same organization. Clearly, this is a conflict of interest. Mold Remediation is far more lucrative than mold inspections in most cases. It is clear that most ...

More solutions for improving indoor air quality in Singapore healthcare facilities
In part 1 of this 2-part blog, I discussed the importance of indoor air quality for healthcare facilities in Singapore. Hospitals and polyclinics need good air quality and ventilation to help ensure the safety of staff, patients, and visitors. We also looked at how ultraviolet (UV-C) light can be used to sterilize duct-type fan coils and air handling units to help stop bacteria, viruses, molds, ...
