Brief Summary:
This is a CONTROLLED PROSPECTIVE COHORT study of a long-term care facility At the start of the study a dedicated section A of the facility ventilation system will have routine HVAC filters of the same dimensions installed while section B of the same facility ventilation system will have C-POLAR cationic polymeric coated HVAC filters installed There will be continuous Indoor Air Quality monitors PM 25 CO2 VOC Radon Temp and RH installed at different vent locations throughout the long-term care facility for the duration of the study Air samples with an Airport MD8 BAMS machine will be taken once a week at various vent locations at the long-term care facility

Primary Endpoint
This study aims to determine the reduction of bioaerosols BAMS in a facility with a C-POLAR HVAC filter building intervention versus conventional filters
Secondary Endpoints
1 Volatile organic compound VOC
2 Radon determination
3 Static passive particulate determination from air
4 Air microbiome analysis
5 Air Quality and Respiratory Staff Survey
Radon gas testing particulate matter testing PM25 fine inhalable particles with diameters that are generally 25 micrometers and smaller Carbon dioxide testing CO2 VOCs testing volatile organic compounds airborne chemicals relative humidity RH testing it is a measure of the actual amount of water vapor in the air compared to the total amount of vapor that can exist in the air at its current temperature and temperature readings
