Indoor air quality in healthcare environments: strategies for monitoring chemical and biological pollutants.
Edited by Gaetano Settimo, Lucia Bonadonna, Monica Gherardi, Francesco di Gregorio, Angelo Cecinato for the National Indoor air Study Group
2019, viii, 55 p. (in Italian)

Purpose of this document is to provide correct indoor air monitoring strategies in healthcare facilities, both for proper measurement, acquisition, verification and evaluation of chemical and biological pollutants, and to support Individual specifications and collective prevention protocols, with the aim of improving health users and healthcare workers, in particular reiterating the central role of responsibility for the promotion and protection of healthcare facilities, as provided by the World Health Organization. The main factors to be considered in order to plan the monitoring activities in relation to the internal environments and the sources are reported. The general principles and characteristics of the methods of sampling and analysis of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCS), particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5), organic micropollutants (PAH, PCDD/F and PCB) and inorganic (metals and metal), biological (virus, bacteria, and molds) are described.
