Columbia University researchers found being in a bed previously used by a patient with an infection increases the risk of infection by 583 percent, according to the current issue of Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology.

It is easier to spread the influenza virus (flu) than previously thought, according to a new University of Maryland-led study released today. New information about flu transmission reveals that we can pass the flu to others just by breathing. The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, provides new evidence for the potential importance of airborne transmission because of the large quantities of infectious virus researchers found in the exhaled breath from people suffering from flu. "People with flu generate infectious aerosols (tiny droplets that stay suspended in the air for a long time) even when they are not coughing, and especially during the first days of illness. So when someone is coming down with influenza, they should go home and not remain in the workplace and infect others." Designed for affordability, Sanondaf brings medical grade disinfection for homes, businesses and healthcare. www.sanondaf.ie

Sanondaf's disinfection systems provide an affordable means of reducing the risks of infection. Call for a quotation for your home, school, creche, care home or workplace. Visit www.sanondaf.ie for more information.

The case for disinfection in classrooms and workplaces is compelling. Sanondaf's touchless disinfection services are available nationwide 24/7.

The advice is everywhere - 'keep flu victims at home'. But what about those who are at home and healthy? Take sensible precautions at home. Regular handwashing, and a stringent cleaning regime for all touch surfaces, and special attention to wash hand basins, toilets and sink units, will help. Cleaning however, whilst essential, will not eliminate the bacteria and viruses that can cause illness. Give your home a professional disinfection by the experts in Sanondaf. With a nationwide presence, and affordable pricing, it makes sense. www.sanondaf.ie

A public health emergency......

"It's a race against time...."

Pneumonia risks are at an elevated level, with cases already manifesting in hospitals in Dublin.

The Asthma Society of Ireland reports that almost half a million people in Ireland suffer from the condition. Elevated allergen levels can exacerbate symptoms in people who suffer from asthma and allergies. It’s important to understand the factors that contribute. A study carried out by the National institute of Health (NIH) in the US reports that over 90% of homes had three or more detectable allergens. The NIH found that the presence of pets and pests had a major influence on high levels of indoor allergens. Housing characteristics also mattered – elevated exposure to multiple allergens was more likely in older homes, rental homes, and homes in rural areas. Sanondaf can disinfect and remove allergens from homes, workplaces and other environments. Contact us to discuss how we can help improve life for asthma sufferers.
