Pollution and cross-contamination

Contamination in the air, spread by foot and wheels in production, processing and storage areas can affect business in many ways, they can also result in interruption of production, reduce income, and in severe cases, they can destroy the reputation of companies.

Conventional contamination control focuses on air cleanliness and personnel movement – ​​but the real problem is at floor level, which is why control of contamination on the floor is vital.

What is not visible is also a problem.

Small, light particles (5um) that cannot be seen with the naked eye are called molecular impurities floating in the air. They can be present for several hours in the critical environment, where they quickly spread and contaminate the atmosphere.

Dycem Clean zones significantly reduce the proportion of airborne contaminants by 75%

Why pollution control is important

For pharmaceutical laboratories, car manufacturing, hospitals, food processing units, optical clinics, IT research centers and other areas, contamination entering the critical environment is an increasing problem. Contamination and cross-contamination from footwear, wheels and microbial particles in the air are often incorrectly classified as just "dust". In contrast, the dangers inherent in contamination can be devastating. A microbe in a package of aseptic medicine can cause the entire batch to be quarantined or scrapped, resulting in supply shortages, financial consequences, product recalls, FDA warning letters, or even company closure.

Visible and invisible risk

Contamination control plays an increasingly important role in cleanrooms, critical areas and controlled environments.

Clean rooms are significantly cleaner than hospital operating rooms and require extremely strict pollution control, as well as an environment free of bacteria, viruses or other pathogens.

Regardless of whether it is an industrial, controlled, critical or sterile environment, Dycem can reduce the proportion of contaminating particles by 99.9%. https://apps.dan.unb.br/
