This process involves the construction of a containment area with negative pressure.

Construct Containment and Negative Pressure

<ul>
<li>Construct a barrier for the containment by creating a physical barrier using plastic sheets for barriers</li>
<li>This barrier should enclose the area where containment is needed and isolate it from the surrounding area.</li>
<li>Ensure that the barrier is securely fastened to the walls, ceiling, and floor using tape or other appropriate fasteners to prevent any air leakage.</li>
</ul>

Construct a barrier for the containment

<ul>
<li>Close off all HVAC vents in the area to prevent any air exchange between the containment area and the rest building.</li>
<li>Use preservation tape or a similar sealing material to cover the vents completely. This will ensure that the air inside the containment remains isolated and does not escape into other areas.</li>
</ul>

<ol>
<li>Place the air filtration device inside the constructed containment area to ensure efficient removal of any airborne contaminants.&nbsp;</li>

<figure>3. Connect the device to a power source and ensure it is properly functioning.&nbsp;</figure>
The air filtration device will help maintain a clean and safe environment within the containment area, preventing the spread of any harmful particles or substances.

Set up Air filtration device inside the containment

<ul>
<li>Connect the air filtration system to the designated area where air needs to be filtered out.</li>
<li>Ensure that the system is properly secured and the outtake is positioned in a strategic location to effectively capture the dirty air for filtration.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>Outgoing air should be filtered to prevent spreading containments, &nbsp;a Hepa Filtration system or PAS a Portable Air Scrubber should be used.</li>
</ul>
<figure><img style="width: 100%; display: block; margin: auto;" src="https://d1d4x9xaxq9e85.cloudfront.net/image/draftjs/85409c59-af4e-48a3-b510-035b9e897d5b.jpg"></figure>
<ul>
<li>A good air exchange is complete air cycling at least 4 times per hour or as directed by local guidelines</li>
</ul>

Set up air filtration system air out

<ul>
<li>To prevent any dust or containments from escaping the containment area must maintain negative pressure.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>To do this there is less air inside the containment area then outside of it, therefore if there are any leaks or breaks in the containment air will leak in and not out.</li>
</ul>

&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Negative pressure must be maintained, for the amount of negative pressure follow local or regional guidelines.</li>
</ul>
