Air Treatment for Odor Control in the Hospital.

摘要

The purpose of the project was to study odors in hospital operating rooms (O.Rs) and to determine what could be done to remove them. It was found that the makeup air required for odor control in the hospital O.R. is not much greater than two changes per hour equivalent of fresh air. It was also determined that water-soluble gases could be removed by water washers and that vaporous odorants from the air are best removed by carbon filters.
