The hospital environment poses risks for infections for several reasons: there is a high concentration of sick individuals and infection sources; work activities can spread infections; and overuse of disinfectants and antibiotics leads to bacterial resistance. Hospital infections pose risks to patient health and increase costs, and can spread to other patients, hospital staff, and visitors. Possible sources of infection transmission include contaminated air/ventilation systems, dust, human particles from staff/patients, soil, water, and construction materials. To reduce infections, hospitals must ensure good air quality through adequate ventilation to replace air, control temperature/humidity, and remove microorganisms and powders. The health staff are also an important source of microbial contamination, so reducing risks from staff
