Standard Practice to Assess Microbial Decontamination of Indoor Air using an Aerobiology Chamber

Importancia y uso:

5.1 This practice is to help in the development of protocols to assess the survival, removal and/or inactivation of human pathogens or their surrogates in indoor air. It accommodates the testing of technologies based on physical (for example, UV light) and chemical agents (for example, vaporized hydrogen peroxide) or simple microbial removal by air filtration or a combination thereof.

5.2 While this practice is designed primarily for work with aerobic, mesophilic vegetative bacteria, it can be readily adapted to handle other classes of microbial pathogens or their surrogates.

5.3 The pieces of equipment given here are as examples only. Other similar devices may be used as appropriate.
