Aspergillosis has an 80% mortality rate. Fully 9% of all hospital acquired infections are caused by fungi.

Hospital patients with suppressed immune systems are especially susceptible to the ravages of Invasive Aspergillosis, which is spread by hospital construction without proper protection. Cancer, HIV and organ transplant patients can die when hospital construction spreads diseases.

HOSPITAL RENOVATION AND CONSTRUCTION
Mold Abatement Class 1 Environmental Containments
Aspergillus fumigatus mycelia is a fungus can be fatal to vulnerable hospital patients. It is a fungus that resides in dust and ductwork and is released during renovation projects. As several experts wrote, “Given the poor treatment outcomes in invasive aspergillosis, environmental control to prevent infection is critical. Aspergillosis has long been known to be an airborne infection, and construction work and increased dust loads have been associated with higher rates of airborne Aspergillus and nosocomial aspergillosis.” http://www.moldacrossamerica.org/ASPPAPER%20LC.pdfhttp://www.jstor.org/pss/30148315Global Wrap® installs "True Class 1 Environmental Containments", which could help your hospital, nursing home or other health care facility avoid premises liability during renovation work, including asbestos, mold, lead and PCB abatement. Global Wrap® helps your contractors keep your facility as safe as possible during renovations or abatements.
