Positing good air quality as critical to patient and staff well-being, it identifies disease-carrying microbes, pollutants, and other airborne toxins and their health risks, and provides localized interventions for reducing transmission of pathogens. Effective large-scale approaches to air quality control are also outlined, from green building materials to hygienic HVAC and air treatment practices. Its thoroughness of coverage makes this book a vital resource for professionals involved in every aspect of health service facilities, from planning and construction to maintenance and management. Among the topics covered: Existing guidelines in indoor air quality: the case study of hospital environments Hospital environments and epidemiology of healthcare-associated infections Analysis of microorganisms in hospital environments and potential risks Legionella indoor air contamination in healthcare environments HVAC system design in healthcare facilities and control of aerosol contaminants Assessment of indoor air quality in inpatient wards Indoor Air Quality in Healthcare Facilities imparts up-to-date expertise to a variety of professional readers, including hospitals' technical and management departments, healthcare facilities' chief medical officers, hospital planners, sport and thermal building designers, public health departments, and students of universities and schools of hygiene. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Public Health,$x2192-3701 606 $aMedicine$xPractice 606 $aHospitals$xAdministration 606 $aPollution 606 $aMedicine, Preventive 606 $aHealth promotion 606 $aEnvironmental health 606 $aPractice and Hospital Management 606 $aPollution 606 $aHealth Promotion and Disease Prevention 606 $aEnvironmental Health 615 0$aMedicine$xPractice. 615 0$aHospitals$xAdministration. 615 0$aPollution. 615 0$aMedicine, Preventive. 615 0$aHealth promotion. 615 0$aEnvironmental health. 615 14$aPractice and Hospital Management. 615 24$aPollution. 615 24$aHealth Promotion and Disease Prevention. 615 24$aEnvironmental Health. 676 $a620.8 702 $aCapolongo$b Stefano$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSettimo$b Gaetano$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aGola$b Marco$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254472803321 996 $aIndoor Air Quality in Healthcare Facilities$91758876 997 $aUNINA
