Creating and maintaining a good microclimate conditions in hospitals very important and significant task. Bad micro-climate can be the reason of the deterioration of the patient health. This work consider large amount of different health hazards such as airborne infectious agents (legionella, fungi, tuberculosis, bacteria and viruses),viruses, irritants and toxic agents (formaldehyde), radiation, anesthetic gases contains in the hospital. All this hazards affects on the patient health condition and becomes so called “risks” factors.
The main idea of this work to find out the most important risk factors for patients in hospitals, what diseases they can cause and what are the main sources of bacterias and viruses transfers. Also this Bachelor Thesis presents European and Russian standards and requirements to Indoor Air Quality and ventilation systems in hospitals.
The theoretical part contains the methods of monitoring and preventing risk factors by adequate works of ventilation system, different types of disinfection and by controlling of the pressure difference in the hospital’s rooms.
