Air Sanitation - Sanitation of air is essential in enclosed places like hospital wards, operation theatres and burns unit to prevent infection. Food processing and packaging industries, pharmaceutical industries and rooms where sterile materials or products are stored require aseptic atmosphere to prevent contamination and to ensure safe handling.

Sterilization of large volumes of air has also become essential for aerobic industrial fermentations. As a result of these, air sanitation has become an important area in air-microbiology. Sanitation of air can be effected in a number of ways each having its own applications.
