Hospitals, while providing care, can also harbour indoor air quality concerns. Poor indoor air quality in hospitals can lead to a high risk of healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) for patients and staff, and respiratory problems like asthma and allergies. It can even lead to sick-building syndrome with symptoms like headaches, fatigue, and dizziness.
Here is a breakdown of pollutants and their sources commonly found in hospitals:
Sources | Pollutants |
Due To Moisture | Mold |
Carpet And Upholstery | Dust |
Human Activity And Illness | Bacteria and viruses |
Cleaning, Disinfectant Products, Medication, And Off-Gassing From Medical Equipment | VOCs |
Sterilization Processes | Ethylene Oxide |
Building Materials | Formaldehyde |
Construction Dust, Skin Flakes, Dust, Combustion From Medical Waste Incineration | Particulate Matter (PM10 and PM2.5) |
Building Materials | Radon |
Thermometers And Some Medical Equipment | Mercury |
Waste Incineration Emissions | Benzene |
Human Respiration, Combustion Appliances, Indoor Plants, Occupancy Density, Building Materials & Furnishing | CO2 |
