Published at the end of 2009 was a document entitled ‘Natural Ventilation for Infection Control in Health-Care Setting’ Authors: James Atkinson, Yves Chartier, Carmen Lúcia Pessoa-Silva, Paul Jensen, Yuguo Li and Wing-Hong Seto. The document can be accessed through the World Health Organisation's website by clicking here. In June 2007, the World Health Organization (WHO) released a guideline document on infection prevention and control entitled Infection prevention and control of epidemic- and pandemic-prone acute respiratory diseases in health care - WHO interim guidelines (WHO, 2007). In this new guideline, natural ventilation is considered for the first time among the effective measures to control infections in health care. Such a recommendation from WHO demonstrates a growing recognition of the role of ventilation and natural ventilation for infection control.
