Removal of Odorants in Nursing Homes Using Air Cleaners

This project aims to enhance the odor environment in laundry and linen rooms in nursing homes. The problem arises from the storage of soiled laundry in these rooms for several days before it is collected or washed, leading to the release of odorants. This often causes discomfort for both staff and residents, as the odors can spread to hallways and adjacent spaces. Aarhus Municipality intends to investigate whether this issue can be fully or partially resolved by installing air purifiers in the rooms.
