Many industries rely on cleanrooms to ensure that their products are not contaminated. Without these rooms many modern products such as microcircuits, optical systems and pharmaceutical products could not be manufactured. This book, written by an international body of authors working in a variety of industries including electronics, biotechnology and pharmaceuticals, discusses the considerations to be taken into account when designing cleanrooms. Three chapters describe how cleanrooms are designed for the principal manufacturing areas of microelectronics, pharmaceutical manufacturing and biotechnology. Other subjects covered are international design standards, the economics of cleanroom design, high efficiency air filtration, materials used in cleanroom construction and the provision of clean gases and water. As the emphasis is practical throughout, the book is intended for readers who use cleanrooms or are involved directly with the design and construction of cleanrooms.
