Why is Air Quality Important in Healthcare Settings?
Maintaining good air quality in healthcare settings is essential for several reasons:
Infection Control: Poor air quality can facilitate the spread of infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Patient Recovery: Clean air can significantly impact the recovery process of patients, particularly those with respiratory issues. Occupational Health: Nurses and healthcare staff are at risk of respiratory problems, allergies, and other health issues due to prolonged exposure to poor air quality.
