There is no consensus about the severity of the new viral disease Influenza A (N1H1),
beter known als Mexican flu. Some think that, in the autumn season ahead, at least one third of the population will be affected, whereas others think it will be just an ordinary flu wave. However, it is beyond doubt that in the Netherlands Mexican flu has already affected hundreds of people – and has killed several persons. For the healthcare sector it is not so important to know just how serious the flu epidemic or pandemic will be, but it is crucial to take appropriate damage control measures.

Apart from personal hygiene it is essential to give full attention to the quality of the indoor climate, in which the air conditioning system plays an important role. Just cleaning pipes and replacing filters will not be sufficient: it is most important to tackle the source of viral and bacterial infections. For some years now, PHI - or photohydroionisation - has provided the answer.

Are you prepared to take measures which should have been taken already? Purchasing and installing a PHI system will definitely free the healthcare sector of almost every flu virus from the Orthomyxoviridae family.
