Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- 1\. Any resident, staff, and any individual who enters the long term care facility will be in a broad sense, involved in this study, as the MERV 13 HVAC filters will be installed within the HVAC system and will not allow anyone to not participate in the study who enters the facility. It is impracticable to carry out this research of comparing two different HVAC filters in an active long term care setting by receiving prior consent from all individuals who may enter, such as vendors or visitors. This research involves no more than minimal risk and may or may not improve air quality or minimize bioaerosols in the facility.
Exclusion
- 1\. Does not wish to enter the long-term care facility until completion of study.
