Microbiological Contamination of Hospital Air [PDF]
Applied Microbiology, 1962 The levels of airborne contamination in various areas of two hospitals were determined during a 15-month sampling period, using Casella and Andersen volumetric samplers. Based on nearly 5,000 samples, the mean count per ft 3 ranged from 4.5 in obstetric-gynecology delivery rooms to 72.4 in waste-handling areas.

Microbiological Evaluation of a Large-Volume Air Incinerator [PDF]
Applied Microbiology, 1968 Two semiportable metal air incinerators, each with a capacity of 1,000 to 2,200 standard ft 3 of air per min, were constructed to sterilize infectious aerosols created for investigative work in a microbiological laboratory.

Sensitive Microbiological Detector for Air Pollution [PDF]
Nature, 1968 THERE is an extensive literature on the photochemical reactions involved in the production of smog, which is reviewed in refs. 1. and 2. Early investigations of this problem3–5 revealed that at extremely low concentrations the oxidative constituents could damage the leaves of certain plants, and that differences in the leaf damage of plants at ...

A laminar flow model of aerosol survival of epidemic and non-epidemic strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from people with cystic fibrosis [PDF]
, 2008 Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited multi-system disorder characterised by chronic airway infection with pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Acquisition of P. aeruginosa by patients with CF is usually from the environment, but recent studies have

Microbiological disinfection of water and air by photocatalysis
Comptes Rendus. Chimie, 2007 This article is aimed at presenting (i) a fundamental research on the efficiency of photocatalysis in water disinfection and (ii) the efficiency of a photocatalytic prototype, developed by Buxair firm, to remove avian influenza virus in air. In water disinfection, two model strains of Escherichia coli (K12 PHL849 and K12 PHL1273) were selected and a ...

Markers of Chemical and Microbiological Contamination of the Air in the Sport Centers
Molecules, 2023 This study aimed to assess the markers of chemical and microbiological contamination of the air at sport centers (e.g., the fitness center in Poland) including the determination of particulate matter, CO2, formaldehyde (DustTrak™ DRX Aerosol Monitor; Multi-functional Air Quality Detector), volatile organic compound (VOC) concentration (headspace solid ...

Bactericidal action of positive and negative ions in air [PDF]
, 2007 In recent years there has been renewed interest in the use of air ionisers to control of the spread of airborne infection. One characteristic of air ions which has been widely reported is their apparent biocidal action.
