hazmat zone
Toxic exclusion perimeter
A hazmat zone is an area designated as dangerous due to the presence of hazardous materials—chemicals, biological agents, radioactive substances, or other toxic contaminants.
Entry typically requires protective equipment and specialized training.
The term appears in emergency response, industrial accidents, and environmental cleanup: The entire block was declared a hazmat zone after the chemical spill.
