Contamination control

[citation needed] Contamination control is also an important asset for industrial laboratories in the pharmaceutical and life science sectors.

[citation needed] More recently, effective contamination control has been a concern for laboratories and other sensitive environments as a bio-security crisis management measure.

[1] Based on this evidence it could be argued that many businesses are not adequately protecting themselves from the harmful effects of contamination, and many products in many industries are being recalled due to unsafe manufacturing processes.

HEPA filtration systems used in the medical sector incorporate high-energy ultraviolet light units to kill the live bacteria and viruses trapped by the filter media.

[5][6] As long as the tack level of the mat is greater than the donor's (such as a foot or a wheel), the contamination touching the surface will be removed.

[7] Polymeric flooring is produced to ensure a higher level of tackiness than the surfaces it comes into contact with, without causing discomfort and potentially damaging 'stickiness'.

They are being installed in healthcare facilities and a subway transit system as a protective public health measure in addition to regular cleaning.
