Importance of Air Filtration in Hospitals
2
Hospitals are often situated in crowded and
polluted areas where preventing smoke, dust and
other hydrocarbons, is not a feasible option.
Thus, an effective air filtration system in
hospitals is highly important, particularly in
sections like paediatrics ward and cancer centers.
3
Another important reason for hospitals to connect
effective air filtration systems is that they are
always surrounded by car parks and utilize a
high-powered generator for backup power.
4
The fumes emitted by the diesel engine are then
drawn into the hospital via air handlers. People
in certain areas of hospital might be exposed to
unacceptable air quality because of odiferous and
toxic compounds from various sources.
5
Factors that can contribute to bad odor and
contamination of air in hospitals include ambient
traffic, evaporative materials, construction at
hospitals, volatile organic compounds present in
construction materials, and emissions from diesel
vehicles.
6
The facility staff in most of the hospitals
complain that they have to turn off the air
intake when diesel generators are activated. This
can be very dangerous for the patients suffering
from claustrophobia. Therefore, the use of air
processing equipment and filters at the hospital
is the best alternative.
7
The air filters are specifically installed right
next to the exhaust of the diesel generator, so
that the pollutants that emanate from the
generator can be easily propelled outside the
building. There are two major categories of
hydrocarbons commonly found in hospitals.
8
First category includes semi-volatile organic
compounds and the products of their incomplete
combustion from the diesel and gasoline range.
Second category includes plasticizers and
solvents present in construction material and
cleaning compounds.
9
When organic compounds agglomerate in complex
ways they lead to bad odor. These compounds are
present in the air in the form of droplets or
particles that cannot be captured easily due to
surface tension of the aerosolized pollutant.
10
This is why regular air filters are not
sufficient to eliminate the stink. However, an
effective air filtration system can breach the
microcellular membrane of aerosol and reduce the
level of odor, even when both air-handler and
diesel generator are in use.
11
It is interesting to note that an efficient air
filtration system has the potential to
permanently capture and immobilize organic
aerosols at extremely low pressures. Conversely,
conventional air filters often re-entrain the
intercepted aerosols, because of which more
powerful droplets come out from the other end.
12
It also offers excellent protection from airborne
maladies. There are special filters that are
installed at the ceiling of operation theatres
using latest technology for the new challenges in
surgery. The health care facilities and future
needs of hospitals are always kept mind when
these systems are designed.
13
Low energy designs are also available in the
market these days, thanks to the use of
energy-efficient filtration and high efficiency
fans. These designs have reduced the need for
fresh air supply because the re-circulated air is
filtered effectively.
