The air quality and infection link
Airborne and droplet-aerosol transmission depends on ventilation rates, directional airflow, room occupancy and filtration. IPC teams increasingly use ventilation data as part of their outbreak risk assessment, particularly in respiratory and immunocompromised settings.
Services for IPC teams
We deliver pressure regime verification, air change rate validation in higher risk areas, particulate baseline surveys and rapid response visits during outbreak investigation. Reports are written for joint IPC/estates use with clear clinical risk language.
Embedding air quality in IPC governance
Beyond reactive work, we help organisations build air quality KPIs into existing IPC governance — for example, percentage of isolation rooms passing differential checks, theatre validation status and ward CO₂ trends. This turns air quality into a tracked element of infection control, not a periodic survey.
