Containment in the Pharmaceutical Industry
edited by James P. Wood
Delivering an encompassing overview of the factors, varieties, and applications determining product containment, this concise reference combines up-to-date and timeless information on containment processes.
Proposes "contain-at-source" containment as a more effective strategy to personal protective equipment (PPE) and environmental containment strategies! Serves as an invaluable aid to identifying and solving specific containment obstacles!
Providing the criteria necessary to make the most informed selection, Containment in the Pharmaceutical Industry:
- reviews the historical context, definition, evolution, and application of containment technology
- analyzes a variety of containment techniques in new and retrofitted construction
- examines "people protection" vs. "product protection" and the role of source-contamination in each
- suggests conceptualizing containment options from the inception of a project for economical, at-the-source containment
- identifies containment requirements and monitoring methods, as well as the current state of emission controls
- illustrates concepts with case studies of particle monitoring
- discusses the "dustiness" of powders and how this research is being defined, quantified, and used in containment design
- explores manufacturing procedures and techniques in research and development
- and more!
With multidisciplinary perspectives reflecting the industry’s diverse global components, Containment in the Pharmaceutical Industry is an essential guidebook for pharmaceutical scientists, manufacturers, and engineers; bioprocess technologists; project and program manufacturers, plant and operating personnel; and graduate and continuing-education students in these disciplines.
