Understanding the air we breathe is essential to solving any indoor air contaminants that may be present in your hospital. Camfil have worked with hospitals worldwide to help improve the air that their patients and staff breathe. 

One such hospital that Camfil helped to protect their patients health was St.James Hospital in Dublin. During construction works Aspergillus gets released into the atmosphere. This mould/spore has the potential to be very damaging to patient health, especially low immune patients. Watch the case study to learn about how Camfil worked in partnership with St.James Hospital to combat this potential risk
