With the aging population comes very specific need in order to care for the elderly. Most often they suffer from a compromised immune system that cannot easily combat illnesses and infections. Institutions that cater to the needs of the elderly are only becoming more numerous as the population ages while improved technologies can be implemented to help protect those who may have a difficult time protecting themselves.

Although airborne disinfection is the number one priority for those who suffer from a compromised immune system, odors can severely impact the air quality of eldercare facilities. Odors such as body odor, urine and fecal odor can migrate through the facility impacting the quality of life for the residence, staff and visitors.
