I can share one story about a clean room and foreign particles - heard 
from reliable 3rd hand parties

The error count on the product from one part of the clean room and gone 
_up_ and no one in QA could figure out why.  During a late 3rd shift 
while doping out the problem one of the QA staff was watching from 
across the room as a tech idly flicked a rubber band into the furnace 
.... seems the guy was in the habit of doing that to watch the rubber 
disintegrate as it entered the 'hot' part of the equipment.
