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.\u003c\/p\u003eAmong the topics covered: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExisting guidelines in indoor air quality: the case study of hospital environments\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHospital environments and epidemiology of healthcare-associated infections\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalysis of microorganisms in hospital environments and potential risks\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLegionella indoor air contamination in healthcare environments\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHVAC system design in healthcare facilities and control of aerosol contaminants\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssessment of indoor air quality in inpatient wards\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e          \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIndoor Air Quality in Healthcare Facilities\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eStefano Capolongo, PhD\u003c\/b\u003e, is an architect with a PhD in Public Health.
