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 mm and larger in diameter, corresponding to an ISO 9 cleanroom which is at the lowest level of cleanroom standards.
Cleanroom Overview
Cleanrooms can be a variety of sizes. Entire manufacturing facilities can be contained within a cleanroom with the area covering thousands of square feet. They are used extensively in semiconductor manufacturing, biotechnology, the life sciences, pharmaceutical, semiconductor, electronic, optics, military/ aerospace, medical, pharmacy, FDA validatable, manufacturing/industrial, packaging industries, and other fields that are very sensitive to environmental contamination.
Cleanroom air coming from an outside source is filtered to eliminate dust, and the inside air is recirculated constantly through HEPA air filters and/or ultra-low particulate air (ULPA) filters that remove containments produced from within the cleanroom.
Personnel enter and leave cleanrooms through airlocks (sometimes including an air shower stage), and wear protective clothing such as hats, face masks, gloves, boots and coveralls.
