For more than a century, public health has focused on treating people after exposure to infectious disease. Vaccines, drugs, and clinical interventions have saved millions of lives. But the COVID era exposed a critical gap in our strategy for respiratory pathogens. We’ve been focusing on the person, when the real battleground is the air. Humans…

Over the past four decades, hospital infection control has become increasingly sophisticated. Clean room construction follows international frameworks such as ISO 14644-1 and the legacy FED-STD-209E. Facilities integrate HEPA filtration, UV-C disinfection, automated pressure controls, AI-optimized HVAC, and continuous monitoring systems. Companies offer advanced solutions—from the Puritrak air purifier and Puritrak indoor air quality measuring…

In many hospitals, ATP monitoring is a trusted, rapid way to understand environmental hygiene. But an interesting pattern has emerged in operating rooms using short-duration thyme oil vapor treatments: ATP (RLU) readings fall significantly — even when no manual cleaning has taken place. So what’s driving this? Understanding What ATP Really Measures ATP (adenosine triphosphate)…

Hospital environments are designed to heal — but without rigorous environmental hygiene, they can also become reservoirs for pathogens. Terminal cleaning, the deep cleaning process performed after a patient leaves a room, is one of the most important infection-prevention steps in healthcare facilities. It ensures the next patient enters a safe, disinfected space and helps…
