contamination zone
Polluted restricted sector
A contamination zone is an area where hazardous materials—radioactive, biological, or chemical—have spread, making entry dangerous without protective equipment.
The term appears in nuclear incidents, hazmat responses, and military contexts: Workers entering the contamination zone wore full protective suits.
In laboratories and hospitals, contamination zones are controlled areas where sterile or clean conditions have been compromised.
