ABSTRACT
Pharmaceutical processing, for both sterile and non-sterile processing, requires that products are developed and manufactured in areas that minimize the potential for contamination through the control of environmental cleanliness and minimize the possibility of personnel introducing contamination into the process. To achieve this, the pharmaceutical manufacturing environment consists of rooms with specially controlled environments. These are termed “cleanrooms.” This entry details cleanrooms and clear air procedures for pharmaceutical testing, including reasons for the importance of cleanrooms and clean air and what goes into creating a controlled environment.
