Two-channel particle fluorescence intensity distributions segregated by optical diameter as reported by a portable WIBS-4, during winter (Feb) and summer (June) sampling campaigns, 2013; 24-h composite observations. (Top panel: originating room) Fluorescent airborne particle monitoring pattern observed in soiled textile holding room centralized on HEPA-filtered patient floor: a (top left) 2 weeks prior to patient occupation and b (top right) 3 months after hosting patients. (Bottom panel: terminal room) Fluorescent airborne particle monitoring pattern observed in soiled textile receiving room isolated in basement: c (bottom left) 2 weeks prior to hospital operations and d (bottom right) 3 months after fully operational. FL1_280 denotes relative single channel intensity scale for type a fluorescence; inset FL2_280 denotes relative single channel intensity scale for type b fluorescence
