IMPROVE AIR QUALITY AND REDUCE ODOURS IN HEALTHCARE SETTINGS

Clean, fresh air plays an important role in creating a comfortable and reassuring environment for patients, residents, staff and visitors. Healthcare spaces such as wards, waiting rooms, treatment areas and care home lounges can experience a rapid build up of everyday airborne contaminants and unpleasant odours, especially where ventilation is limited or footfall is high.

Odours may come from clinical activities, personal care, waste handling or general occupancy. These smells can linger on furnishings and contribute to an uncomfortable atmosphere even in well maintained facilities. Routine cleaning supports essential hygiene, yet it cannot address the airborne compounds that continue to circulate throughout the day.

DAX Airscience provides continuous air treatment that works alongside existing cleaning and ventilation measures to keep healthcare areas smelling fresher and more pleasant for everyone who uses them.

HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENTS

Healthcare environments vary widely in size, purpose and occupancy patterns, from resident bedrooms and waiting rooms to corridors, treatment spaces and washrooms. Each area has its own challenges, particularly with odours that may develop throughout the day due to close contact care, high use of shared facilities or frequent people movement.

AIRsteril systems supplied by DAX Airscience provide continuous air treatment that helps maintain a fresher atmosphere in these sensitive settings. Units draw contaminated air into an enclosed internal chamber where it is exposed to germicidal ultraviolet energy and advanced oxidation. Inside the chamber airborne microorganisms are destroyed and odour causing compounds are broken down before treated air is returned to the room.

By addressing airborne contaminants at source, AIRsteril helps manage persistent odours and offers a consistent improvement in air quality. This supports a more pleasant environment for patients, residents, staff and visitors while complementing existing hygiene routines.

THE CQC EXPECT CLEAN, WELL MAINTAINED PREMISES

Unpleasant or lingering odours can negatively affect how a healthcare environment is perceived. The Care Quality Commission notes that premises should be visibly clean and free from unpleasant smells, as odours can influence confidence in the standard of care. A fresher environment supports reassurance for families, visitors and patients, and contributes to a more comfortable workplace for staff.

Traditional approaches such as masking with fragrances or relying on increased cleaning often fail to tackle the airborne compounds responsible for odours. AIRsteril technology breaks down these compounds within its internal chamber, helping maintain a cleaner smelling environment between routine cleaning cycles.

Treated air circulates throughout the room, reducing airborne contaminants and allowing fewer particles to settle onto surfaces. This supports the ongoing appearance of cleanliness and helps soft furnishings and fixtures stay fresher for longer.
