Human health risk assessment and heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems hygiene

The tropical climate (high heat and relative humidity) of Singapore is one that requires building owners to install and maintain ACMV systems to ensure that airborne contaminants are kept at acceptable levels, to maintain a conducive temperature and humidity for building occupants to be comfortable...
