Many people consider hospitals the most critical health environment - a place where clean air literally means the difference between life and death. Doctors and other caregivers need to be protected from cross contamination of infectious disease while they care for patients. Patients need to be protected from viruses, bacteria, and other microscopic airborne pollutants that can hinder their recovery. Patients with severe allergies and asthma need relief from their respiratory symptoms. Patients with lung infections need an environment that is free of airborne contaminants.
