The results of the recent study into the effectiveness of portable air cleaners (PACs), as an infection control measure against TB, delivered unexpectedly low results. That finding initiated a further study to understand the contribution of system design to the effectiveness of PACs in airborne infection control. The objective of this further study was to quantitatively evaluate the contributions of combined ventilation and PAC systems and identify factors with the potential to reduce the functional effectiveness of such systems.
