Clean Room Design : Minimizing Contamination Through Proper Design

Presenting all the elements necessary for a well-designed clean room, this book gives readers practical, detailed guidance on all aspects of cleanroom airflow, the mechanics of airflow, and how microbial contamination is carried. Authors Ljungqvist and Reinmüller draw on their years of experience in cleanroom design and operation to provide readers with maps of the effect of human interference on unidirectional airflow and the potential for contamination. They clearly explain particle challenge test methods and tracer gas detection methods and discuss the impact and interpretation of the results obtained from these test methods.
