    Metal Particles: Generated during machining.
    Tramp Oils: Leaked lubricants from machine components.
    Microbial Growth: Bacteria and fungi introduced through water or air.
    Dirt and Debris: External contaminants entering the system.
    Water Hardness Minerals: Minerals from the water supply affecting water-based fluids.
    Prevention:

    Effective Filtration: Regularly filter the cutting oil to remove particulates.
    Tramp Oil Skimming: Use skimmers to remove floating oils.
    System Sealing: Ensure equipment is well-maintained to prevent leaks.
    Water Treatment: Use deionized or softened water for dilutions.
    Microbial Control: Implement biocides and maintain appropriate pH levels.
    Good Housekeeping: Keep the work area clean and covered when not in use.
    Implementing these measures maintains fluid integrity and prolongs its effective use.
