SYNOPSIS
Moulds and fugal growth is a serious problem in hospital and other health care facilities. Managing the moulds colony is part of indoor air quality (IAQ) programme. IAQ encompasses a wide variety of factors: temperature, humidity, quantity, presence of chemicals and other contaminants, and the quality of outdoor air brought inside are typical metrics used to define IAQ. The patients within the facility and the staff caring for those patients are all directly impacted by the quality of air in the building. Being a tropical country, we experience high humidity throughout the year, a key factor for moulds growth. Thus the design of hospital facilities must incorporate IAQ as a component for sustainable development and be part of the goal for overall improvements in building occupant satisfaction and comfort.
The talk attempts to provide relevant guidance to facilitate the management of indoor air quality in hospitals. The talk will address the following:
•Sources, adverse health effects and exposure limits of serious chemical and microbiological indoor air pollutants of considerable concern for hospitals. •Effective monitoring methods and mitigation measures by means of engineering systems. •Strategies for the implementation of a hospital indoor air quality management system. •Case studies from speakers experience
