My understanding was that negative pressure was when a higher flow of air exits the room than is allowed in thus airborne pathogens from inside the room are vented outside away from the protected area while clean air is pulled from outside the room I believe positive pressure systems are used to protect the patient from outside threats. Ie protect an aids patient from exposure to the flu or pneumonia

One of the two. LOL its been since 2005 LOL.
I had a fan unit...attached to that was a filter box with three merv 10++ 3m filters iirc. This pushed outside air into the room via the room door.it was sheeted off...along with the windows. The flap /valve was on that as well.
If it was reversed (fan inside pushing air out) that would cause unfiltered air to be drawn in via cracks..gaps etc. Doing it as I did outside air doesn't enter.except thru the filter box. This fills the room with "clean " air while pushing the air in the room out. Better suited iirc to self isolate than to stick infected in there since infected "air " would be pushed outside the room.
Did I lose you?

[justanothergunnut]

Nah you didn't lose me. We are both on the same page. Just reversing our terms. Lol

I ain't 18 anymore LOL.
Either way......on the reverse you'd have to filter both ends correct to basically have all contained with in that room for something airborne ...iirc right

If the threat is INSIDE the room (sick contagious patient), you want NEGATIVE air pressure in the room, with exhaust going into a filter, or exiting outside in a safe place with no people having access to that area. NEGATIVE keeps the germs from going into other rooms...

If the threat is OUTSIDE the room (nuclear fallout), you want POSITIVE air pressure in the room. Filtered INTAKE air is blown OUT any cracks or crevices, keeping contaminates outside the room.

Hopefully just joking... ;)

apparently there are at least some "preppers" who believe this is just a quarterly scare tactic by the media.. NOTHING to be concerned about.. Paranoid NO vigilant and watchful.. YOU BET

It may not be anything to concern ourselves with. And me not rolling around in arsenic everyday may not keep me from getting cancer, but I'm going to avoid potential problems as well as those that have shown themselves to be a real threat.

Don't worry about them. Most new "preppers" have their own little tiny niche of things they WANT to prepare for, and things they definitely don't even want to consider. This is why you don't see many of them serious about NBC preps, or taking defensive preps much further than simply having a rifle or two they never practice with.

They may soon learn what the difference is between having a protective mask on their "list" and having a mask on their SHELF.

Full NBC gear...some gas....shovel....kiddie pool....lots of bleach...:p

Just can't go crazy like that dad in the BBC show survivors ...burning even dead rabbits then taking bleach baths LOL

Think I'm going to put together a pandemic scenario exercise day. Build a isolation room with decon station. Go all out. Waste disposal protocol, decontamination of person and gear, cross contamination Of clothing, etc. Any idea on tagants that can be used to simulate contaminant. Maybe those little tiny clear plastic flakes similar to confetti. Can't remember where I have come in contact with them. I just know they stick to everything and are difficult to see

You should try stipper glitter.

If there is ANY on you anywhere you'll have a hard time gettin it off. ;) Then have your wife check ya, if there is one microscopic trace she'll find it. :o

[tarheelsman71]

ajgn....use glitter as your agent. They should make planes out of the stuff cuz it never disappears.

[justanothergunnut]

I was considering it but it's TOO visible it needs to be difficult ub not impossible to see. If you can easily see it you will work harder to remove it I have seen something probably glitter but it was clear you had to look for it to see it I dunno

[justanothergunnut]

Any one know of a light powder that fluoresces under uv light ????
