Thirteen chapters explore the main elements and applications of containment as it is currently practiced by members of the pharmaceutical industry. The book first presents a brief historical perspective on containment in the industry, a workable definition of the term, and containment's relationship to other industries. Along with definitions, one chapter focuses on recent research of what makes powders dusty in the first place and how that is being defined, quantified, and used in containment design. The contributors also discuss approaches for both new and retrofitted installations, and people protection versus product protection along with source containment's potential role in each. Topics include engineered local exhaust, flexible containment for primary manufacturing/bulk operations, the production line of a dry products secondary manufacturing operation, and containment in the hospital setting.

Delivering an encompassing overview of the factors, varieties, and applications determining product containment, this concise reference provides authoritative information on containment processes. It reviews the historical context, definition, evolution, and application of containment technology, analyzes a variety of containment techniques in new and retrofitted construction, and examines "people protection" vs. "product protection" and the role of source-contamination in each. It also 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, and discusses the "dustiness" of powders and how this research is being defined, quantified, and used in containment design.
