Abstract
Disclosed is a method and system for the mitigation of risk of exposure to contaminants and providing information thereof. The method and system thereby follow the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Hierarchy of Controls to implement a method and system to optimize safety guidelines and increase mitigation effectiveness. The method includes providing or using an existing air moving unit, mounting sensors for the continuous measurement of contaminants, flushing the enclosed area prior to and after occupancy for a specific time, filtering, diluting the enclosed area during occupancy, pressurizing for contamination control, maintaining humidity between 40% and 60%, providing ultraviolet germicidal irradiation to destroy and deactivate nuclear material in contaminants, cleaning, adjusting operational parameters between energy conservation mode and pandemic mode, and providing a display having information thereof about the enclosed area including the attributes and characteristics continuously monitored by sensors.
