Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Due to the pressure difference between the inside and the outside of the room, air can flow in, but not out. This way, contaminated air cannot leave the room except by an air outlet that directs it away from spaces occupied by non-infected people. The air may also be filtered or disinfected before being released in the environment. 2, record 1, English, - negative%20pressure%20room

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
En raison de l'écart de pression entre l'extérieur et l'intérieur de la pièce, l'air peut y entrer, mais non en sortir. Ainsi, l'air contaminé sort de la pièce uniquement par une sortie d'air qui le dirige loin des lieux occupés par des personnes non infectées. L'air peut également être filtré ou désinfecté avant d'être évacué dans l'environnement. 2, record 1, French, - chambre%20%C3%A0%20pression%20n%C3%A9gative
