Indoor Air Quality Clinical Trial
Official title:
Indoor Air Quality and Infectious Aerosols in Health Care Facilities
Outbreaks of emerging and re-remerging infectious diseases are frequently reported
internationally in recent years, mainly due to global climate change, close human-livestock
contact in developing countries, and globalization. Thus prevention, monitoring and control
of infectious diseases are in urgent need to protect public health. High exposure risk to
various infectious agents in health care facilities is of special concern, especially to
airborne and droplet-borne respiratory diseases. To protect the health of public and health
care workers the investigators will conduct a study to monitor indoor air quality and
essential infectious aerosols in hospital(s).
A questionnaire survey will be used to evaluate the relationships between employees' health
and measured indoor environmental factors. The investigators will also examine whether the
current indoor air quality recommendation of their country can reasonably reduce the risk of
hospital infection. In addition, simple infectious aerosol indices will be established for
future environmental management and monitoring in health care facilities.
