How will it be different if it isn’t built in a clean room? What is the significance of working in a clean room
In: Earth Science
There are different types of clean rooms depending on how clean you want them. But in general they try to keep the clean rooms free of any dust or other particles. If these contaminants end up in the wrong place in the machines they can end up causing huge issues. Especially as the dust is not contained toward the bottom of the machine by the gravity but are left free to float around inside it. For example some dusts like metal shavings or dust from a pencil conducts electricity very well so if this dust collects on exposed electrical circuits they could end up causing a short circuit. This is also why they do not use pencils in space by the way but rather use grease pens, wax pens, marker pens, crayons, etc. which does not produce any dust. Other types of dust can also be corrosive, abrasive or otherwise cause the machines to fail earlier then designed.
