An indoor environment in a hospital building requires a high indoor air quality (IAQ) to
overcome patients' risks of getting wound infections without interrupting the recovery …

To obtain insight into the particle size distributions of airborne micro-organisms in different
environments, a literature search was conducted. More than 190 publications containing …

Introduction and objective. The presence of airborne bacteria in hospital environments is of
great concern because of their potential role as a source of hospital-acquired infections …

Postoperative infections are a concern, especially in total knee and total hip arthroplasty. We
evaluated the air quality in orthopaedic operating theatres in southeastern Italy to determine …

Hospital‐acquired infections (HAIs) are a global challenge incurring mortalities and high
treatment costs. The environment plays an important role in transmission due to …
