Decontamination

Decontamination means getting rid of all the yucky, bad germs and things that might make us sick. It's like taking a bath for your body or cleaning your toys if they got dirty.

When we use things like chemicals or radiation, they can leave behind some of those bad germs and things we want to get rid of. So, we need to clean them up really well, almost like washing them, to make sure they are safe to use again.

Sometimes people need to decontaminate their clothes or themselves too, like if they were working with yucky, bad things that could hurt them. They might need to take a special shower or use special soap to make sure they are clean and safe.

Overall, decontamination is a really important way to make sure we stay healthy and safe by removing anything that could make us sick or hurt us.
