This course provides guidance for filtration and air cleaning systems for buildings for protection of a building environment from airborne chemical, biological, or radiological attacks.
This course provides guidance on filtration and air cleaning systems for buildings to protect the indoor environment from airborne chemical, biological, or radiological attacks. It covers filtration and air-cleaning principles, including particulate air filtration and gas-phase air cleaning. The course also includes recommendations for filter and sorbent selection, system operations, upgrades, and maintenance, along with insights into economic considerations such as initial, operating, and replacement costs.
Participants will review material from the National Institute for Occupational Health and Safety (NIOSH) publication, “Guidance for Filtration and Air Cleaning Systems to Protect Building Environments from Airborne Chemical, Biological, or Radiological Airborne Attacks,” April 2003, available at https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2003-136/default.html.
Topics Covered:
Intended Audience:
This course is intended for professionals in construction, civil, environmental, mechanical, and electrical engineering, as well as other related fields, whose roles may require a general knowledge of air filtration and cleaning systems for occupied facilities.
