Containment and
Pressurization
Why do we erect containment?
Since fungal fragments and
spores are often airborne, individuals with genetic predisposition
may be at increased risk if the affected area is not properly
contained.
To manage
airflow, minimize the spread of contaminant, prevent exposure,
control traffic, reduce cleaning time and maintain privacy.
Contained areas are designed with an airlock for permitting egress
with minimum air movement between a contaminated area and an
uncontaminated area.
These typically consist of two curtained doorways separated by a
distance of at least three feet such that one passes through one
doorway into the airlock, allowing the doorway sheeting to overlap
and close off the opening before proceeding
through the second doorway. Thereby preventing flow-through
contamination; the area under containment is negatively pressurized
as compared to adjacent areas.
The system requires one air
change per fifteen minutes in a given work area. The air handling
units that provide the pressurization are HEPA (High Efficiency
Particulate Air) filters capable of trapping and retaining 99.97
percent of all particulates larger than 0.3 microns. With proper
containment and pressurization the contaminants can be controlled to
minimize occupant risk.
