Our MISSION

INDOOR A IR QUALITY

What is meant by indoor air quality?

According to the US Environmental Protection Agency,

indoor air is often more seriously polluted than outdoor

air. Given that many of us spend up to 90 per cent of

our time indoors or in vehicles this is significant. For

general health, well-being and safety reasons, human

beings require a comfortable indoor temperature with

air free from dust, irritants, pathogens, unpleasant

odours, mould and mildew and other contaminants.

Hospitals and other healthcare facilities have particular needs,

even excluding those of staff and visitors and the impact of

outdoor or ambient air quality (AAQ), because patients are

vulnerable and diseases are prevalent. In fact, hospitals are

uniquely vulnerable and exposed to heightened risks of health,

fire and safety hazard. Hospitals and healthcare facilities in Eu-

rope may not be taking seriously enough the need to protect

people from outdoor and indoor air pollution as well as bio

particles and airborne infection.

IAQ is a significant issue in health care.

Airborne organisms common in the environment can pose

a serious threat to a patient who is immune-compromised.

A patient ill with a respiratory infection can spread danger-

ous microbes to other patients, staff, and visitors.

Scope of work

We shall be responsible for the re-

moval of visible surface contami-

nants and deposits from within the

HVAC system .

The HVAC system includes any in-

terior surface of the facility’s air dis-

tribution system.

This includes the entire HVAC sys-

tem from the points where the air

enters the system to the points

where the air is discharged from

the system..

The return air grilles, return air

ducts to the air handling unit

(AHU), the interior surfaces of the

AHU, mixing box, coil compart-

ment, condensate drain pans, hu-

midifiers and dehumidifiers, supply

air ducts, fans, fan housing, fan

blades, air wash systems, spray

eliminators, turning vanes, filters,

filter housings, reheat coils, supply

diffusers, exhaust and ventilation

components are all considered part

of the HVAC system.

The primary role of a hospital is to provide medical treatment

and nursing care to patients.

There are various healthcare facilities and departments, such as

inpatient wards, operating theatres, intensive care units (ICUs),

outpatient departments (OPDs), pharmacies, radiology depart-

ments, laboratories, etc.

Each facility has its own functions, and the day-to-day running of

each can be very different from the other facilities.

The three main groups of occupants of a hospital are patients,

healthcare workers, and visitors. Individual groups are different

in terms of their health status and susceptibility to airborne

chemicals and microbes.

The diversity of facilities and occupants makes the complex hos-

pital environment unlike that of any other commercial and in-

dustrial buildings.

The control of indoor air quality (IAQ) plays an important role in the

prevention of infection in hospitals to protect both hospital staff and

patients, especially immunosuppressed and immunocompromised

patients, who are highly susceptible to the adverse effects of various

airborne chemicals and microbes.

Poor hospital IAQ may cause outbreaks of sick hospital syndrome

(SHS), causing headaches, fatigue, eye and skin irritations, and

other symptoms.

More seriously, improper control of hospital IAQ may cause hos-

pital-acquired (nosocomial) infections and occupational diseases.

Our VISION

Expand our services and build a

team of highly motivated profes-

sionals to compete with internation-

al companies in the Middle East and

North Africa region.

Many factors affect indoor air quality (IAQ) in hospitals and healthcare buildings

Hospitals and Healthcare buildings can emit HAPs . These pollutants

can contribute to health problems that may affect employees, pa-

tients, their families, and the community. including:

Mercury can be used in thermometers, blood pressure cuffs, ther-

mostats, fluorescent lights, and other products found in hospi-

tals. At room temperature, mercury is a liquid and emits toxic

vapors, which can be inhaled into the lungs and absorbed into

the bloodstream. Mercury is very toxic to humans. It impacts the

kidneys, liver, respiratory system, and central nervous system.

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) PVC is used in plastic products such as

bags, surgical tubing, other medical supplies, and construction

materials. PVC is a source of HAPs. Some hospitals incinerate

their waste onsite. Burning medical waste can produce dioxin, a

potent carcinogen and that interferes with normal reproduction

and development at low doses.

“The National Air Duct Cleaning Association”.

Since the early 1970’s the public has become increasingly aware of IAQ problems and their relationship to the cleanliness of HVAC systems. In response to public concern and to establish standards of excellence, NADCA (National Air Duct Clean-ers Association) was formed. The National Air Duct Cleaning Associ-ation, in conjunction with the EPA, created recommended procedures and standards for air duct cleaning, assessment and remediation. The resulting document ACR 2002 is now the industry standard.

We depends in our work on the NADCA Standards.

Coil Cleaning

1. Measuring air pressure drop

across cooling coil for AHU’s

before cleaning and comparing

it with the clean coil conditions.

2. Measuring air velocity through

the cooling coil before cleaning

and comparing it to the design

airflow rate.

3. Cleaning cooling coils and drain

pans with pressurized hot water

and Air-Care internationally ap-

proved detergents.

4. Measuring pressure drop across

cooling coil for AHU's after

cleaning and comparing it with

the clean coil conditions.

5. Measuring air velocity through

the cooling coil after cleaning

and comparing it to the specifi-

cations.

Sources of airborne microbial pollutants.

Pollutants Sources

TB bacteria When an active TB patient coughs, sneezes, or

speaks, airborne TB droplets will be generated.

Legionella bac-

teria

A common source of this bacterium in hospi-

tals is the water mist discharged from the

cooling towers and then drawn into the in-

door environment through the outdoor air

intake.

Other probable sources include evaporative

condensers, potable water systems, and hot

water systems.

Staphylococcus

aureus

The bacteria are present on the skin and in the

nose, blood, and urine of an infected patient.

During some surgical procedures that require the

use of power tools, such as oscillating bone saws

and bone drills, microbial aerosols will be gener-

ated.

Aspergillus

spores

Hospital renovation or nearby construction

work are major sources of aerosolized Asper-

gillus spores.

The fungal spores from soil, plants, animals,

and dust particles can attach themselves to

the clothing of healthcare workers or visitors.

ProService equipment

Allergies and asthma are two health problems that can be

helped with clean indoor air.

When airborne irritants are removed, allergy and asthma

sufferers often find relief from their symptoms.

Even healthy people who have never suffered from allergies can

benefit from clean air. Dust, smoke and other particles float

around in the air, causing your drapes and furniture to gather

dust. By removing airborne dust particles, you reduce the

amount of exposure your respiratory system has to them.
