This presentation provides information on minimizing contamination from human personnel in cleanrooms. It discusses how human skin naturally hosts many microorganisms and how cleanroom garments and practices aim to contain these microbes. Proper gowning techniques and high-quality, tightly woven fabrics are important to limit contamination from the billions of skin cells shed daily and prevent microbes from reaching sensitive products. Understanding the human microbiome helps improve strategies to exclude microorganisms from all body areas.
