About this trial
This is a CONTROLLED PROSPECTIVE COHORT study of a long-term care facility. At the start of the study a dedicated section A of the facility ventilation system will have routine HVAC filters of the same dimensions installed, while section B of the same facility ventilation system will have C-POLAR (cationic polymeric coated) HVAC filters installed. There will be continuous Indoor Air Quality monitors (PM 2.5, CO2, VOC, Radon, Temp, and RH) installed at different vent locations throughout the long-term care facility for the duration of the study. Air samples with an Airport MD8 BAMS machine will be taken once a week at various vent locations at the long-term care facility.

Primary outcomes
The primary endpoint is comparing the difference in reduction of bioaerosols between MERV 13 HVAC filters.
The aim of this study is to determine the difference in reduction of bioaerosols in a long-term care facility with MERV 13 C-POLAR (cationic polymeric coated) HVAC filters compared to conventional MERV 13 HVAC filters.
