Remove "contaminants", usually things that could carry diseases or toxins, from a sterile/controlled area. For example, when a surgeon goes to perform a surgery, he or she must wash their hands, put on scrubs and gloves, etc. (decontaminate themselves) so that they do not accidentally infect or contaminate the patient they are performing surgery on.

Decontamination is also used in places where things like radioactive materials and poisonous or virile materials have been to remove the hazardous stuff and make the area safer for people and wildlife to be around.
