Ausnviro’s team of specialists carry out indoor air quality audits for hospitals Australia-wide.

Below is a list of the typical testing we conduct and why:

Temperature – comfort levels

Relative Humidity – comfort levels

Carbon Monoxide – confirming levels in the make-up and outside air

Carbon Dioxide – to ensure productivity is being maintained and drowsiness, fatigue & lack of concentration do not occur

Airborne Bacteria – confirming levels are low in a sterile environment to ensure health and recovery are being maintained

Airborne Fungi & Mould – confirming levels are low in a sterile environment to ensure health and recovery are being maintained

Airborne Actinomycetes – confirming levels are low in a sterile environment to ensure health and recovery are being maintained

Dust Particles – ensuring filtration is up to standard and being maintained

Total Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s) – levels need to be confirmed due to the high use of disinfectants

Surface Bacteria – confirming the air handling units and sterile areas of the hospital are not promoting microbiological growth

Surface Yeast & Mould – confirming the air handling units and sterile areas of the hospital are not promoting microbiological growth
