Cleaning your shoes before stepping into the cleanroom at CFN, BNL

The Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN) at Brookhaven National Labs (BNL) has an interesting apparatus for cleaning cleanroom users' shoes (see photo below). I have worked at 5 different national labs and it's the only one which actually catered for the dirty shoes of users!





The other labs in the USA had the traditional blue shoe cover only, while in Asia, users were required to remove their shoes completely and wear cleanroom boots.
