I know how to make trigger_changelevel's using landmarks and therefore how to get NPC's to move through levels with the player...
___________BUT__________
How do you make a fresh level change so no scientists, entities or enimies (except your weapons of course) follow you to the next map?

You could killtarget them when the map starts.

could but that wouldnt help the dead bodies floating around.
its not that they follow, its just that corpses and stuff appear on the next map even thought the two locations are supposed to be unrelated in the game.

Map properties:
"New level unit: Yes, clear previous levels"
doesnt work either

Teleport the player away as soon as he gets to the next level?

in the map properties (tools/map properties i think) you can choose to "flush entities". that will probably work.

Read the part about the trigger_transition. It may well be the solution to this problem.

What I thought, was, to put a trigger_transition so, that no entity is inside. Wich means nothing should be taken to the next level, get the idea?
I haven't tested it, it's just a thought but I guess it's worth a try.

That can be found in the link I gave you...
But since I've never used it it's up to you to find out. Maybe it'll solve your problem. Hopefully...

I had this problem in Minimicus. After you kill the gonarch in the kitchen, the level changes to put the player back in the lab. But sometimes there were baby headcrabs that were still alive and they came through the level change with the player, very annoying... I solved this by fading out and teleporting the player to a hidden pitch-black room in the same map, THEN I triggered the level change.

ouch. still, hidden pitch black rooms are the cure for any transitional ailment. like leeches - Seventh

Yep. Though it's never wrong to test out some unfamiliar entities...

Captain P, I tested the trigger_transition; it worked perfectly, and it was easy to use. Just place it over the area where the player will be during the level change and name it the same as the info_landmark. It prevented the other monster entities from being included in the level change. I wish I had known about this earlier.
