Air Quality
Monitoring air quality in healthcare is crucial for maintaining a safe and healthy environment for both patients and healthcare professionals. Poor air quality can lead to various health issues, exacerbate existing conditions, and compromise the overall well-being of individuals within the facility.
In healthcare settings, where vulnerable populations are often present, adherence to workplace exposure limits is essential to prevent the potential spread of infections and minimise the risk of respiratory ailments.
Healthcare workers are exposed to a variety of airborne contaminants, including pathogens, allergens, and chemical substances. Regular monitoring helps ensure that air quality meets established standards and guidelines, such as EH40 workplace exposure limits set by the HSE. Having a proactive approach not only safeguards the health of occupants but also contributes to the overall efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare services.
Citritek have a range of sensors to monitor various parameters within the air of healthcare environments. These include:
- CO2
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Particulates
- Volatile Organic Compounds
- Nitrous Oxide
By adhering to recommended exposure limits, healthcare facilities can implement timely interventions to address air quality issues, thus reducing the risk of infections and creating a safer environment for everyone involved.
