“…In what concerns chemical contaminations, the most frequently monitored compounds were total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs), carbon monoxide (CO), benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX), and formaldehyde. Other parameters that were measured in at least one of the sampled papers were ammonia and nitrogen oxide [91], anesthetic gases [92,93], limonene [12], mercury vapor [38], n-hexane and styrene [89], polycyclic aromatic compounds (PAH) [94], trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene [88], and phthalates [95]. Ultra-fine particles and black carbon, which have recently been considered a priority research target by the World Health Organization (WHO) [1], were focused on in only three of the sampled articles [43,96,97].…”

The adequate assessment and management of indoor air quality in healthcare facilities is of utmost importance for patient safety and occupational health purposes. This study aims to identify the recent trends of research on the topic through a systematic literature review following the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) methodology. A total of 171 articles published in the period 2015–2020 were selected and analyzed. Results show that there is a worldwide growing research interest in this subject, dispersed in a wide variety of scientific journals. A textometric analysis using the IRaMuTeQ software revealed four clusters of topics in the sampled articles: physicochemical pollutants, design and management of infrastructures, environmental control measures, and microbiological contamination. The studies focus mainly on hospital facilities, but there is also research interest in primary care centers and dental clinics. The majority of the analyzed articles (85%) report experimental data, with the most frequently measured parameters being related to environmental quality (temperature and relative humidity), microbiological load, CO2 and particulate matter. Non-compliance with the WHO guidelines for indoor air quality is frequently reported. This study provides an overview of the recent literature on this topic, identifying promising lines of research to improve indoor air quality in healthcare facilities.

“…Food, especially vegetables, is the main route of HM absorption into the body [15] . Considering the increasing use of wastewater irrigation, it has the potential to risk public health if guidelines are not met, especially regarding products that are consumed raw [16] , [17] . Since veggies are an important source of carbohydrates, proteins, and vitamins, it is essential to keep in mind that their high absorb rate of HMs might possibly threaten human health and cause problems for humanity.…”

“…Anesthetic gases (AG) is one of the most important indoor air quality (IAQ) that increase the risk of genetic damage, respiratory and renal disease among exposed health care worker (HCWs) and patients in operating rooms (ORs). [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] The main please that used to anesthetics are dental offices, veterinary hospitals and operating rooms. [9][10][11] Based on report International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) states in humans there is inadequate evidence for the carcinogenicity of isoflurane, sevoflurane, nitrous oxide and halothane.…”

Introduction: Anesthetic gases are very important for health among health care worker (HCWs) and patients in medical centers. Operating rooms (ORs) is the most important ward that use anesthetic gases. Isoflurane gases is very dangerous for HCWs. Objective: In this study, we have associated the concentration of anesthetic toxic isoflurane gases (ppm) and the health risk assessment due to exposure to common anesthetic gases in Valiasr and Shahid Beheshti teaching hospital operating room during 2018. Methods: In this study, we used the active sampling system by portable pump SKC and tubes (sorbent Tube Tenax TA 250 mg) for detection of isoflurane concentration (ppm). Different points of the operating rooms were selected for sampling. Hazard index (HI) quantified by calculating the non-cancer causing anesthetic toxic isoflurane gases. Results: According result this study, the Valiasr and Shahid Beheshti had the lowest and the highest level of isoflurane. Based on result this study, level of isoflurane on indoor air quality in the operation room in Valiasr and Shahid Beheshti hospital were 2.129 and 2.436 ppm, respectively. According to the results from the current study, hazard index was under 1.0 and it amount showed that no significant risk of adverse health endpoint attributed to exposure to level of isoflurane in Valiasr and Shahid Beheshti teaching hospital operating room during 2018. Conclusion: According Result this study the average concentration of isoflurane and the health risk assessment in Valiasr and Shahid Beheshti teaching hospital operating room during 2018 because of flaw in the ventilation system was significantly higher than standard.
