Assessing alternatives to HEPA air purification requirements to reduce viral pathogen transmission in healthcare HVAC systems
Background: High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters are currently recommended when using recirculated air to eliminate the risk of pathogen transmission such as SARS-CoV-2 from one patient care area to the next. We tested the efficacy of lower-grade air filters in eliminating airborne virus t...
