Is the air we breathe is sick? To analyse the quality of air inner from specialized service for HIV / AIDS and Tuberculosis.

The research about air quality is necessary for the comfort of people. The dynamics of enclosed spaces (in restricted perimeter) and the amount of people in confinement situation are understood as a necessity for promotion and protection of health. The real models in which identifies the ventilation levels lower, It means higher percentages achieved in CO2 and imply a lower quality of indoor air and increased vulnerability for specific diseases. This study aims to analyse the quality of air inner from specialized service for HIV / AIDS and Tuberculosis. It describes immediate context of recommendations, to maximize comfort environmental and control environmental measures for precaution of illness.

All people needs to understand that Tuberculosis is transmitted by air, it is one of the issues of concern environmental control measures in the context of HIV / AIDS. The risk of infection, transmissivity, multidrug resistance and death from Tuberculosis are identified as having the greatest chance, around 5 to 15%, in just one year in people living with HIV/AIDS. Moreover, the same percentage (5 to 15%) this illness in all  of life, can be considered in people without HIV/AIDS. At the end of this work we will have a gain not only for users and service professionals in study, but will bring a significant impact on the collective health as global challenge.

• To the backers who wish to maintain their anonymity, I appreciate your generous collaboration. 

• To the backers interested in indoor air quality will be sent at the end of the work, by electronic mail, a guide on improving air quality: Is the air we breathe is sick? 

It is noteworthy that the results can be adapted in other contexts, such as households, schools, clubs, and other hospital services.

Deadlines:
- I count on support from friends, family, teachers, students and the society in general, totaling between 50 until 240 supporters within 60 days to purchase this material.

    Ponto de situação da Campanhã

    Prezados apoiantes e seguidores, passados 2 meses com os seus respectivos feriados, venho informá-los que o trabalho em andamento e adequação ao campo da acção. Conforme a Campanhã "Será que o ar que respiramos está doente?", informo o ponto de situação e evolução: já adquirimos o material técnico, realizamos a avaliação técnica das condições locais (medidas do espaço físico, insolação, modelos hipotéticos de ventilação) e sensibilização dos utentes e funcionários sobre a importância da realização desta acção num serviço de atenção especializada com benefícios aos utentes, aos profissionais e a toda a sociedade.
    Relativo as recompensas da Campanhã: acredito que independente do modo de participação todos receberam o agradecimento. As demais recompensas são derivadas da evolução e concretização do trabalho, sendo a partir daí feito chegar aos respectivos colaboradores que tão vivamente nós apoiaram.
    Um saudoso e agradecido abraço.
