Gelatin capsules require varying relative humidities, depending upon sise of capsule. Moisture content should not exceed 0.25 gr per cu ft. Various kinds of gelatin require different temperatures.
Penicillin incubation process requires holding temperature within i deg F, with temperatures and hu midity rigidly controlled during all manufacturing phases.
Ampule filling requires.a 20 percent relative humidity when especially fine powders are used.
Uncoated tablet manufacturing requires accurate control of temperature and relative humidity, since low relative humidity.causes formation of a hard outer layer, and high relative humidity retards drying at the proper rate.
Liver extracts require a low relative humidity after they are dried. Temperatures higher than 80 F will cause the extracts to deteriorate.
Tablet coating requires the control of the temperatures of all ingredients and the temperature of air in troduced to coating pans.
Sterile conditions are essential in many pharmaceutical processes. Provide suitable air exhaust to re move surplus material from tablet compressing machine.
Air filtration b generally required, with positive air filtration in some areas.

Spray water must have algae inhibitor. Positive dust control must be maintained and absolute filtra tion is essential.
In nitrate film area take proper precautions against fires. Recirculated air used for film drying is passed through activated carbon filters.
Relative humidity for film storage should never exceed 60 percent with a minimum of 25 percent.

Maximum ventilation is required for laying quarters during the summer months, while an attempt is
made to maintain a temperature 10 deg above or below outdoor temperature during the winter, to minimise condensation on the exterior walls. This applies to houses not having forced ventilation systems.
