A cleanroom is a contamination-controlled environment and isessential in the industrial manufacture of many electronic, semiconductor, optical, pharmaceutical and medical products. The use of cleanrooms for the manufacture of a large range ofproducts such as microprocessors, CD players, lasers, pharmaceuticals and medical devices continues to grow and manycompanies are using cleanrooms for the first time. At the sametime, new technology products that can only be produced incleanrooms are being developed. This comprehensive overview of thefundamentals, design, testing and operation of cleanroom systemsprovides novices with a introduction to this state-of-the-arttechnology and professionals with an accessible reference to thecurrent standards. Readers will benifit from the author's 35 yearsof experience in cleanroom technology R&D, consultancy andteaching. The text is complementary to the structure and content ofWhyte's own and many in-house cleanroom courses in the electronicsand pharmaceutical industries. * Complementary to the highly successful Cleanroom Design, SecondEdition and the forthcoming Cleanroom Testing and Running by thesame author * Presents the fundamentals and latest standards for the design, validation, testing and running of cleanroom systems Pitched at introductory level and tailored to fulfil the trainingrequirements of scientists and engineers new to cleanroomtechnology.
