Indoor air decontamination system and reduction of microorganism emissions into the atmosphere

Abstract

The paper considers the effect of sanitary and hygienic condition of occupational environment, namely the factor of increased microbial contamination, on temporary disability and reduction of labor efficiency. In this regard, it is necessary to improve the methodology and technical support of disinfection methods in order to reduce labor intensity and increase the efficiency of equipment and disinfectants. The developed deflector model serves to reduce the emissions of microorganisms into the atmosphere and improves the environmental situation. The proposed design of the ultrasonic system makes it possible to improve user experience due to the possibility to control the flow rate of the working fluid and preparations. According to the results of the experiment, the disinfection agent based on hydrogen peroxide, silver salt and a furocoumarin solution in ethyl alcohol with the use of the developed ultrasonic atomizer reduced the total microbial contamination by 8 times on average.

Pulmonary Dysfunction Augmenting Bacterial Aerosols in Leather Tanneries of Punjab, Pakistan

“…1 In workplaces, dispersed dust aerosols containing bacteria, viruses, and fungus spores located in the breathing zone of workers pose a particular danger to health. 2 The distinct impacts of inhaled bioaerosols and particulates are known to cause respiratory ailments. However, synergistic impacts include exacerbation of pulmonary diseases, 3 irritation of mucous membrane, organic dust toxic syndrome, asthma, allergic rhinitis and alveolitis, and COPD.…”

Improving the reliability of aerosol disinfection by reducing the probability of genera-tion disruption

“…Кроме того, необходимо учитывать, что в последнее время возросла численность штаммов микроорганизмов, проявляющих резистентность к противомикробным препаратам [9]. Использование средств природного происхождения дает возможность приостановить распространение микроорганизмов, устойчивых к лекарствам, таким образом снижая вероятность и последствия заражения работника [11]. Одним из перспективных направлений исследований является изучение противомикробных и иммуностимулирующих свойств композиций на основе экстрактов эфирных масел [1].…”
