In cleanroom environments where air showers are commonly used, bringing personal items like mobile phones into the air shower is generally discouraged. The purpose of an air shower is to remove contaminants from individuals before they enter a cleanroom or controlled environment, and personal items may introduce particles that could compromise the cleanliness of the environment.

Mobile phones, in particular, can harbor dust, lint, and other particles on their surfaces.
Additionally, the crevices and openings in a mobile phone can trap particles that may be released during the high-velocity air flow of the air shower.To maintain the cleanliness of the cleanroom and adhere to best practices, it's typically recommended that individuals entering a cleanroom leave personal items, including mobile phones, outside of the air shower. Many cleanroom facilities provide designated areas
outside the cleanroom where individuals can securely store personal items before entering.

It's important to follow the specific procedures and guidelines established by the cleanroom facility or organization you are working in. If you have concerns or questions about the handling of personal items in cleanroom environments, it's advisable to consult with the facility's management or safety personnel for clarification.
