Our Services in Malta Clean air and safe water
Clean air and safe water are prerequisites for health. Poor air or water quality can be particularly detrimental to vulnerable populations such as the very young, the elderly, and those with chronic health conditions.
Why Are Air and Water Quality Important to Health?
Clean air and water support healthy brain and body function, growth, and development. Air pollutants such as fine particulate matter, ground-level ozone, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and greenhouse gases can harm our health and the environment [1]. Excess nitrogen and phosphorus run-off, medicines, chemicals, lead, and pesticides in water also pose threats to well-being and quality of life [2].
In 2011, almost 40 million people—1 in 8 Americans—had been diagnosed with asthma [3]. Air pollution is associated with increased asthma rates and can aggravate asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and other lung diseases, damage airways and lungs, and increase the risk of premature death from heart or lung disease. Using 2009 data, the CDC’s Tracking Network calculates that a 10% reduction in fine particulate matter could prevent over 13,000 deaths in the US [4].
While drinking water safety is improving, a recent study estimates that contaminants in drinking water sicken up to 1.1 million people a year [5]. Improper medicine disposal, chemical, pesticide, and microbiological contaminants in water can lead to poisoning, gastro-intestinal illnesses, eye infections, increased cancer risk, and many other health problems [2].
Poor surface water quality can also make lakes unsafe for swimming and wild fish unsafe for consumption. Nitrogen pollution and harmful algae blooms create toxins in water, which can lead to rashes, stomach or liver illness, respiratory problems, and neurological effects when people ingest or come into contact with polluted water. Water pollution also threatens wildlife habitats [2].

Legionella prevention control and treatments for Hotels and Resort
To deal with the problem scientifically Legionella, we must first take note that: "THE LEGIONELLA LIVES AND GROWS IN THE WATER, BUT IS TRASMITTED BY AIR."
It is not enough to analyze and take action on water quality, as in closed areas the two systems interact (vapors of hot water of the hot tubs, faucets and showers are captured from the air conditioning vents shooting infecting the heat exchange coils resulting in multiplication and spread of pathogens).
A serious and effective prevention intervention should therefore be a regular monitoring of the water supply systems and air handling.
Bed Bug Control in Hotels
Bed bugs, bed-bugs, or bedbugs are small, oval, parasitic insects of the cimicid family that feed exclusively on blood. Cimex lectularius, the common bed bug, is the best known, as it prefers to feed on human blood. Adult bedbugs have flat bodies about the size of an apple seed. After feeding, however, their bodies swell and are a reddish color.
Bedbugs can move quickly over floors, walls, and ceilings. Female bedbugs may lay hundreds of eggs, each of which is about the size of a speck of dust.
Using the latest scientific research and the most effective techniques, Sterilair LTD can help combat current bed bug infestations
