It is important to decontaminate as soon as possible after exposure to chemical agents to minimize the effects on your health. The 24-hour timeline for processing through the contamination control area is to ensure prompt and thorough decontamination to prevent further harm. Delaying decontamination can worsen the effects of chemical exposure and increase the risks to your health.
Secondary contamination
Indirect contamination is the opposite of direct of contamination which does not need to do direct contact to be contaminated. An example of this is a person with HIV/AIDS who shares needles with another person that has no HIV/AIDS. These two people did not have any direct contact with each other, but sharing needles with HIV/AIDS or any types of diseases is an example of indirect contamination which could lead the healthy person to also get the HIV/AIDS.
