Why do I need a Particle Counter?

This is a frequently asked question from current or potential pharmaceutical cleanroom personnel. The legislation and cGMP guidelines clearly state why microbiological monitoring must be performed and impose limitations for production environments. Little mention is made of routinely monitoring the particle count levels. So what value does it add and why should I be doing it?
