To reduce the
risk of transmitting tuberculosis bacteria, the Center
for Disease Control (CDC) recommends the following approaches:
1. Prevent
the generation of infectious droplet nuclei.
2. Prevent
the spread of infectious droplet nuclei into general
air circulation.
3. Reduce
the number of infectious droplet nuclei in already contaminated
air.
4. Clean,
disinfect, and sterilize contaminated items.
5. Monitor
TB transmission to health care facility personnel.
The remainder
of this section focuses on the reduction of infectious
droplet nuclei in already contaminated air. We will divide
this section into four subdivisions as follows:
3a- Contaminant
dilution by introducing air from other sources.
3b- Contaminant
dilution by removal with HEPA filters.
3c- Contaminant
dilution by irradiation with UV lamps.
3d- Contaminant
containment by utilizing negative pressure.
