Comparing air filters to reduce germs in a care facility
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of HVAC air filters (MERV 13) to see which better reduces tiny particles in the air that might carry germs. It takes place in a long-term care facility and involves everyone who enters during the study period.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are a resident, staff member, or visitor at the long-term care facility.
- You do not need to avoid the facility during the study.
- You are comfortable with the study using special air filters throughout the building.
