The generation of aerosols and the contamination of surfaces arising from the use of a number of special purpose centrifuges have been measured. Except when sealed containers were used all the equipment tested generated airborne particles and contaminated surrounding surfaces. The magnitude of this contamination was shown to be associated with several factors, and it could be considerably reduced by the use of sealed containers, and by fitting air filters. The significance of these findings and their application are discussed.
对一些特殊用途离心机使用过程中产生的气溶胶及表面污染情况进行了测量。除使用密封容器外，所有测试设备均产生空气传播颗粒并污染周围表面。结果表明，这种污染程度与多个因素有关，使用密封容器和安装空气过滤器可大幅降低污染。文中讨论了这些发现的意义及其应用。
