Description: Illustrates common sources of air-borne contamination to show that the world is contaminated by a variety of airborne particles. Shows the difficulties of manufacturing precision devices in such a contaminated world, and describes earlier attempts to clean air for industrial processes. Explains the theory and basic operating principles of laminar air flow systems, shows the variety of laminar air flow devices now available, and illustrates the application of such devices to industrial processes, research and development problems, and to the field of medical care and medical research.
