r <br /> Decontamination consists of physically removing contaminants or <br /> changing their chemical nature to harmless substances . How <br /> extensive decontamination must be depends on a number of factors, <br /> the most important being the type of contaminants involved. The <br /> more harmful the contaminant, the more extensive and thorough <br /> decontamination must be. Less harmful contaminants may require <br /> less decontamination. <br /> Combining decontamination, the correct method of removing personal. <br /> protective equipment, and the use of site work zones minimizes <br /> cross-contamination from protective clothing to wearer, * from <br /> equipment to personnel, and from one area to another. Only <br /> general guidance can be given on methods and techniques for <br /> decontamination. The exact procedure to use must be determined <br /> after evaluating a number of site-specific factors . A detailed <br /> discussion on decontamination procedures can be found in Chapter 6 <br /> of this manual . <br /> 10-19 <br />
