Abstract

The air quality in environments where health care professionals develop their activity is related to the construction and maintenance of air distribution systems as a relevant item of the plan, which includes the participation of experts on Biosafety. As the main recommendation should be noted that systems should restrict agents from biological and chemical risks, which may be transmitted by air to prevent the exposure of professionals to injuries related to respiratory infectious diseases. The knowledge about best practices, ventilation, air conditioning, use of absolute filters and actions on Biosafety are determining factors in the chain of infection control in health and in maintaining the healthof professionals.
