Indoor Air Quality and Hospitals by Katie Long - Hospital infections kill more Americans each year than AIDS, breast cancer and auto accidents combined. Scarier still, about three of every 100 operations performed in the United States are complicated by surgical site infections. Compared with uninfected patients, patients developing surgical site infections spend an additional 6.5 days in the hospital, are more likely to be readmitted to the hospital, and are more likely to die.

Holy Histoplasmois Batman!!! by Katie Long - January 2009 is here and with it comes new beginnings.  The thought of a fresh start might make you want to breathe a sigh of relief, but WAIT!   Before you open your mouth you might want to take a few moments to think about what you’re actually exposing your lungs to.  Those two spongy organs are surrounded by a moist membrane that makes it easy for small particles and spores to settle in and become problematic.  Living in a post-industrial society, contaminants in the air are part of daily life which makes it crucial to be in control of your personal Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) every chance you get.

IAQA and ACCA - What a Combination As a long time member of the Indoor Air Quality Association (IAQA) and an even longer member of the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA), I cannot think of a better match for a combined annual meeting.

SB2K9 by Katie Long Spring Break is here and for most people that doesn’t really mean anything anymore.  If you have children you might identify it with the brood enjoying (or whining about) an entire week away from school.  Other people associate Spring Break with sunny beaches and warm destinations.  Most people reading this probably think they are too busy or have too much work to enjoy an entire week away from the office so close to the beginning of the year.
