Air sanitation is the system of removing the impurities present in air inside buildings to protect people from infections. Sanitation of air is essential in enclosed places like hospital wards, operation theatres and burns unit to prevent infection. Food processing and packaging industries and rooms where sterile materials or products are stored require aseptic atmosphere and safe handling to prevent contamination.

The factors that determine how conducive a particular building is to spreading disease include the following:

The range of temperature and humidity control
The amount and distribution of outdoor air
The efficiency of the filters
The cleanliness of the facility
The number and types of surfaces throughout the building
The hygiene of the occupants

Sources of infection in adults

We are well-aware of the laboratory hazards with respect to the bio-aerosol formation thus leading to airborne infections, with the laboratory personnel more prone to it. With proper installation and maintenance of air sanitation devices within a lab, we can definitely minimise such airborne infections and guarantee the safety of the laboratory personnel.

Many labs work with pathogenic microorganisms, some of which are dangerous particularly those associated with the air.

The various devices used for air sanitation include the following:
