    Analysis of housing construction and design techniques considering biosecurity parameters to mitigate the risk of contagation in the context of COVID-19
    (American Institute of Physics Inc., 2022) Enderica Izquierdo, Lorena Eulalia
    The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the spread of SARS-CoV-2 has exposed some deficiencies in the built environment to mitigate the risk of contagion. In the specific case of single-family homes, the cleaning and disinfection habits applied to avoid contagion have forced the inhabitants to modify or adapt spaces that fulfill this purpose, which were not thought from their design to disinfect people. and objects. To define the current disinfection requirements of single-family homes in a case study carried out in the city of Cuenca-Ecuador, surveys were used to identify the biosecurity habits carried out by the families within the study case, where They recognize aspects such as the transit area from the entrance to the home to the clean part of the house, the area used for disinfection, among others. With these data, a zoning of the areas that an existing home must have and the architectural suggestions to apply in each case was elaborated. A zoning of black or highly contaminated areas, gray 1, gray 2 and white area is proposed in similarity with the protocols used within laboratories, and the design suggestions are based on the relocation of spaces for personal hygiene, disinfection of objects, laundries and access routes.

    Development of a spray disinfection mechanism for baths in homes in the city of Cuenca
    (American Institute of Physics Inc., 2022) Arias Duy, Jorge Luis; Ortiz Tejedor, Jonnathan Gerardo; Ramirez Reyes, Pablo Daniel; Enderica Izquierdo, Lorena Eulalia
    The outbreak and spread of infectious and contagious diseases such as Covid-19, which is currently affecting the world population, especially Ecuador, highlights the inadequate handling of regulations regarding biosafety measures such as personal and object disinfection everyday use in a home. The objective of the research is to develop a mechanism that allows the continuous disinfection of a bathroom, through the application by spraying of disinfectant chemicals that are not harmful to health and thus guarantee a healthy home for the occupants, reducing the risk of contagion of diseases. intestinal and respiratory; and at the same time offering a comfortable method of disinfection. Methodologically, the sampling was carried out on surfaces of 6 houses of interest at the level of the home bathrooms in Cuenca - Ecuador, using swabs. Stuart medium was used to transport the samples. Bacterial identification was carried out using the semi-automatic RapID one method and conventional biochemical tests to determine the existence of pathogens. In addition to conducting a review of the state of the art for the selection of the best disinfectant and in turn the appropriate disinfection mechanism. Among the results obtained, the presence of pathogens is observed in the following percentages, 55% Escherichia coli, 18% Proteus mirabilis, 15% Enterococcus faecalis, 5% Klebsiella aerogenes, 5% Staphylococcus coagulase negative and 2.5% Morganella morganii in the different areas of the bathrooms where the samples were collected. The best disinfectant is determined to be quaternary ammonium used by means of a mist disinfection mechanism. The presence of microorganisms in areas that are used on a daily basis has consequences for the health of the inhabitants, for this reason, it is advisable to use quaternary ammonium to carry out the disinfection mechanism by nebulization, which is capable of eliminating 99.9% of these agents, guaranteeing a healthy environment without causing damage to its habitual occupants.
