  Specified areas with dedicated research and/or production facilities coupled with a zero level of contamination are called "cleanrooms." Basically designed to function at an exceedingly low level of particulates and airborne organisms, cleanrooms are very much essential in sectors like life science research laboratories, pharmaceutical establishments, and electronic component manufacturing units. All the same, there are certain parameters that have to be considered and followed. These cleanrooms must comply with specifications that are mandatory, and there are applications that the room must be equipped with. Another important aspect is that proper upkeep is required to sustain the cleanliness of the cleanroom. A cleanroom is generally equipped with a high-efficiency particulate air filter system and ultra-low penetration air filters to efficiently filter fine dust particles and also eliminate any possible airborne floating contaminants. Likewise, airlocks or air shower...

  The level of humidity in any environment plays a very significant role in sustaining a pleasant environment, especially during hot weather. This is where the importance of Air-conditioning & Humidity Control comes into play. Where the system not only cools the temperature but also regulates your humidity by bringing it under control. As a matter of fact, very high moisture levels in the atmosphere can become a stable source for viruses, bacteria, and mold to increase, which will certainly affect the indoor air quality. This activity is a vital one while we consider the environment of a hospital or a health care unit, where the temperature has to be maintained at a constant level with zero humidity in order to control bacterial and other pathogenic survival and multiplication. An air conditioning system can manage temperature as well as humidity within the allocated area. It is a general notion that the air conditioning unit can only cool a room, but on the contrary, it doe...

  The system or method employed to control or lower the room temperature and its humidity level, and in some exceptional cases, the purity of the air within a given space or specified area such as the interior of an office premises, a cinema or stage play theatre, certain laboratories where temperature regulation is a must, or simply in the house, which is specifically capable of cooling, is called an air-conditioning device or air-conditioner. This lowering of temperature can be accomplished by the method of the vapour-compression cycle, which involves the forced circulation and state change of a refrigerant between gas and liquid to attain the transference of heat. The vapour-compression cycle can take place within a properly packed chiller, which is essentially connected to a cooling section similar to a fan coil unit on the evaporator side and heat elimination apparatus such as a cooling tower on the condenser side. The air conditioner reduces the entire humidity of the air p...

Medical emergencies like spreading of certain airborne infectious disease require strategic planning and vigilance, mainly by the authorities and the relevant hospital management to ensure that all protection line up, including the ecological reins, are properly geared up to tackle the situation effectively, wherein the preliminary step is to set up a proper isolation room for withholding the spread of the disease. In case hospitals do not have sufficient facilities and do not take proper steps to carry out any unexpected airborne infection isolation, then the situation certainly leads to a disastrous condition which may take a serious turn and affect hundreds or even thousands of innocent lives. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning proficiency is essential for accurate ecological management especially in the control of airborne infectious disease outbreaks; along with these a proper course of action will prove to be helpful in the infectious disease management. The major purp...

In the general sense, clean rooms and operating theatres are those areas which are maintained in a way that they are free from pathogenic and other similar harmful elements. This holds good in places like hospitals, where activities like surgeries and other similar undertakings are done. Apart from the construction of operations theatres, the hospital also needs a lot of other equipment that is of vital importance. This equipment plays a major role in the day-to-day activities and is to some extent responsible for the smooth running of the medical establishment. The role that medical equipment plays in hospitals and clinics is of utmost significance since it permits the medical professions to assess and treat patients or the sick. With each passing day, the multiplicity of diverse varieties of medical equipment is always on the development path as new inventions and advancements in the field are on the path of tremendous progression. With such innumerable equipment, one cannot clearly...

Indoor pollution and concrete air quality have been listed as two of the world’s worst pollution problems. The microbial presence and concentration in air especially in hospital environments where hospital equipment are very extensively used are often of high concern. The indoor pollution aspects are mainly classified into four categories: UV organic compounds, volatile organic compounds, non-volatile organic compounds, and particulate contaminants. In general formaldehyde could also pose to be a highly volatile organic compound, but no smell is sensed if the concentration of formaldehyde may be a smaller amount and when the concentration increases, it can be recognised by the smell, and later to feel a stimulus to nose, eye and throat then discomfort. And at very high concentrations, tears are induced and an individual may fall into dyspnoea. And as the concentrations reach to greater concentrations, it could be fatal. In order to deodorize formaldehyde, an amine compound is includi...

  Infection Control is an essential part of healthcare facilities at all levels. Effective infection control practices contribute hugely to maintaining a safe environment for everyone by reducing the transmission of infections between patients, healthcare workers, and others in the healthcare environment. So it is important to ensure that the design standards of an infectious disease treatment room will help to allow for measures that effectively isolate patients for treatments. An effective infection prevention and control measures can only be achieved when all essential elements are implemented properly for a specific health care environment.
