Coway Mighty vs. Blueair Blue Pure Air Purifiers - ConsumerReports.org Coway Mighty vs. Blueair Blue Pure Air Purifiers - ConsumerReports.org Posted: 27 Nov 2019 03:39 PM PST CR's Dave Trezza and his team of engineers test each air purifier in a sealed chamber, into which they inject smoke and dust particles. A particle counter measures the change in particle concentration as the air purifier runs for 15 minutes on the highest speed, and then again at a lower speed. Our engineers also measure noise levels while the air purifier is in use from 4 feet away. Here's the breakdown of how each model performs. Particle Reduction and Noise at High Speed The Blueair aces our particle reduction test on high speed, meaning it effectively clears the air in the room of both large (dust) and small (smoke) particles quickly. The Coway scores slightly lower than the Blueair for particle reduction, meaning there were more particles left floating in ...

Before mea culpa, Children’s was confident its air systems weren’t source of infection - Seattle Times Before mea culpa, Children’s was confident its air systems weren’t source of infection - Seattle Times Posted: 26 Nov 2019 06:00 AM PST When the third child in three months developed a mold infection after heart surgery, Seattle Children's executives launched an investigation they hoped would be a model for others to follow. In the spring of 2005, they formed an outbreak response team to pinpoint the source of the infections, reviewed medical charts, swabbed equipment for contaminants and took air samples in operating rooms. They found small amounts of the Aspergillus fungus in and near an operating room, but concluded they were "unlikely to have caused infection." The main suspect: a dirty nitrogen tank, near an operating room, contaminated with mold. Children's was so confident it  published the investigation in a...

HEPA Filter Reduces Indoor Airborne Traffic Particles, Improves QoL in Children With Asthma - Pulmonology Advisor HEPA Filter Reduces Indoor Airborne Traffic Particles, Improves QoL in Children With Asthma - Pulmonology Advisor Posted: 24 Nov 2019 04:56 PM PST At-home high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration reduces indoor concentrations of airborne traffic particles and is associated with improvements in quality of life (QoL) measures in children with asthma, study results published in Indoor Air suggest. The Cincinnati Childhood Allergy and Air Pollution Study (CCAAPS) cohort was used to recruit children between the ages of 10 and 16 years with a physician diagnosis of asthma . A total of 43 children with asthma were included in the study if they lived in a home with high traffic-related airborne pollutant (TRAP) exposure.
