With regulatory authorities tightening the noose over drug manufacturing specifications to enhance the export of medicines, the market for cleanrooms in India offers significant prospects due to its indispensible attribute. Cleanroom refers to providing contamination-free and temperature-controlled room facilities in different industrial environments. It was medicine that first realised the potential relationship between good hygiene and healing. The technique in the cleanrooms is to minimise the number of particles released by humans and equipment, and eliminate them immediately. In medicine, a slightest contamination may result in loss of function, reliability, medical compatibility or other essential quality characteristics. The aim of cleanrooms is to protect patients, products and processes against contamination of any sort, ie, the number of airborne dust particles, pollen, bacteria, viruses and aerosols must be as small as possible. With the government becoming sensitive to the environmental hazards and health issues related to a toxic environment, new legislations are laid down. These steps will definitely go a long way in safeguarding our environment and at the same time act as a stringent check on the biopharmaceutical industries as well.
