✦ Synopsis

The average intensity of irradiation of an enclosed space depends upon the length of path of rays between the source and the point at which they disappear from the atmosphere, as determined by their position and direction. But air disinfection by indirect irradiation depends also upon air circulation relative to the distribution of irradiation, interception of the paths of the rays by bacteria being the same whether light is directed through air or the air circulated through light? This paper attempts to formulate sanitary ventilation by indirect irradiation in terms of recirculation of irradiated air. SANITARY VENTILATION.
