"Tuberculosis
(TB)
is
primarily a disease of the respiratory system, and is spread by coughing and
sneezing. Each year 2 million people die from this curable disease." World

Indoor Air Quality and
Tuberculosis (TB)

"Indoor Air Pollution." Co-sponsored by:

(CPSC), and
The American Medical Association
(AMA)
The transmission of airborne infectious diseases is
increased where there is poor indoor air quality. The
rising incidence of tuberculosis is at least in part a problem associated
with crowding and inadequate ventilation. Evidence is increasing that
inadequate or inappropriately designed ventilation systems in health care
settings or other crowded conditions with high-risk populations can
increase the risk of exposure.
The incidence of tuberculosis began to rise in the mid
1980s, after a steady decline. The 1989 increase of 4.7 percent to a total
of 23,495 cases in the United States was the largest since national
reporting of the disease began in 1953, and the number of cases has
continued to increase each year. Fresh air ventilation is an
important factor in contagion control. Such procedures as sputum induction
and collection, bronchoscopy, and aerosolized pentamidine treatments in
persons who may be at risk for tuberculosis (e.g., AIDS patients) should
be carried out in negative air pressure areas, with air exhausted directly
to the outside and away from intake sources. Unfortunately,
many health care facilities are not so equipped. Properly installed and
maintained ultraviolet irradiation, particularly of upper air levels in an
indoor area, is also a useful means of disinfection.
