CONTAMINANTS: SOURCES OF CONTAMINATION |
|
As good as these filters are, they simply can’t do the job alone.
Contaminants must be stopped at the source, and the greatest source
is people. In our jobs, we’ll often be entering and leaving the cleanroom
several times a day, and with each entry, we carry the potential of
bringing hundreds of thousands of particles in with us.
Although the
chemicals used, the work being done, and the equipment in the room
itself all generate some contaminants, past studies have
shown the largest single source, (roughly 35%) originates from the
crews working inside.
