This volume adds to the wealth of knowledge provided in the previous volumes by addressing several important issues not previously discussed in earlier volumes. It starts with the requirements and establishment of an environmental monitoring program for the quality control microbiology laboratory. There is a chapter introducing the need for environmental trending for smaller companies. Additionally you will find a chapter that describes the types of reports you might want if you are manually trending environmental data.

Other chapters include advice on how to specifically present environmental data to both internal and external stakeholders, details about setting up an identification laboratory at your site followed by a discussion of a newer technology for performing identifications. In recent years that has been an influx of issues with fungal contamination. There are two chapters on dealing with fungal contamination. One provides a wealth of information on the places where fungal contamination originated along with methods to eradicate the contamination. The other chapter introduces a new technology to prevent fungal contamination from occurring. Also included are chapters that provide summary data from a comparison study for the IMD and the SMA prepared by impartial reviewers, not including the vendors of either of the equipment and chapters discussing the need for establishing environmental programs within the compounding pharmacy and the last chapter talks about some of the issues associated with contamination control, specifically for the biotechnology industry.

This book is a welcome addition to any Environmental Monitoring library.
