The role of ‘no-touch’ automated room disinfection systems in infection prevention and control
"A number of NTD systems have emerged, which remove or reduce reliance on the operator to ensure distribution, contact time and process repeatability, and aim to improve the level of disinfection and thus mitigate the increased risk from the prior room occupant. Available NTD systems include hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) vapour systems, aerosolized hydrogen peroxide (aHP) and ultraviolet radiation. These systems have important differences in their active agent, delivery mechanism, efficacy, process time and ease of use. Typically, there is a trade-off between time and effectiveness among NTD systems. The choice of NTD system should be influenced by the intended application, the evidence base for effectiveness, practicalities of implementation and cost constraints."

Westinghouse Antimicrobial Air Sterilization Humidifier, 100% Chemical-Free 2-in-1 Bedroom Humidifier and Purifier, Cool Mist Ultrasonic, Smart Humidity Control, Digital Controls with Remote, Black : Home & Kitchen
****!!!!**** "This cold mist humidifier for the bedroom features an innovative electrolytic sterilization module to ensure a healthy indoor environment. Using just tap water, this humidifier runs the water through the electrolytic process to create slightly acidic electrolized water, which is a strong and natural disinfectant. Meanwhile, the humidifer's ultrasonic atomizer ensures that the electrolyzed water is converted into a hydroxyl mist, which removes odors, oxidizes contaminants, and kills viruses and bacteria. Independent testing has shown that this dry air humidifier consistently had an airborne bacteria kill rate of 99.9% in two hours."

COVID-19 Outbreak and Hospital Air Quality: A Systematic Review of Evidence on Air Filtration and Recirculation
The outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 has made us all think critically about hospital indoor air quality and the approaches to remove, dilute, and disinfect pathogenic organisms from the hospital environment. While specific aspects of the coronavirus infectivity, spread, and routes of transmission are still under rigorous investigation, it seems that a recollection of knowledge from the literature can provide useful lessons to cope with this new situation. As a result, a systematic literature review was conducted on the safety of air filtration and air recirculation in healthcare premises. This review targeted a wide range of evidence from codes and regulations, to peer-reviewed publications, and best practice standards. The literature search resulted in 394 publications, of which 109 documents were included in the final review. Overall, even though solid evidence to support current practice is very scarce, proper filtration remains one important approach to maintain the cleanliness of indoor air in hospitals. Given the rather large physical footprint of the filtration system, a range of short-term and long-term solutions from the literature are collected. Nonetheless, there is a need for a rigorous and feasible line of research in the area of air filtration and recirculation in healthcare facilities. Such efforts can enhance the performance of healthcare facilities under normal conditions or during a pandemic. Past innovations can be adopted for the new outbreak at low-to-minimal cost.
