Cleanrooms are an important part of manufacturing processes, scientific research and quality control. Whatever their intended purpose, setting up a cleanroom requires careful consideration both in the design phase, and then in how you use it
in simple terms, a cleanroom is a controlled area within a wider facility that maintains a specific level of air particles and other contaminants. The three ways in which a cleanroom is clean are:
1. The air quality is controlled.
2. All surfaces and equipment are always cleaned to a certain standard.
3. It is operated in a specific way — for example, the number of staff is limited.
Typically used in manufacturing or scientific research, a cleanroom is a controlled environment that has a low level of pollutants such as dust, airborne microbes, aerosol particles, and chemical vapors. To be exact, a cleanroom has a controlled level of
contamination that is specified by the number of particles per cubic meter at a specified particle size. The ambient air outside in a typical city environment contains 35,000,000 particles per cubic meter, 0.5 micron and larger in diameter, corresponding to an ISO 9 cleanroom which is at the lowest level of cleanroom standards.
