Evaluating and contextualizing the efficacy of portable HEPA filtration units in small exam rooms
BACKGROUND: Ambulatory clinics attend to COVID-19 patients, often in spaces with less than ideal ventilation. Testing and treatments can often include aerosol-generating procedures. Portable high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration units have been used to remove airborne contaminants in the...
