Environmental Monitoring for Cleanrooms and Controlled Environments

A critical technology in the science of contamination control environmental monitoring is a technique that provides important data on the quality of a process processing environment and final product which can aid scientists in identifying and eliminating potential sources of contamination in cleanrooms and controlled environments. In response to the scattered industry and ISO standards and technical reports on the subject this title provides comprehensive information about environmental monitoring including monitoring of viable and non-viable air surfaces water alert and action levels trending procedures for responding to excursions certification/requalification and the application of new ISO standards. Because the interpretation of results is vital in controlling contamination several chapters discuss the presentation of data trending and investigations and how they are valuable in reducing risk to the product process and patient.
