The world's first such facility within the restricted area of an airport, can accommodate up to 280 people per hour. After decontamination, individuals will put on protective clothing and undergo checks for contaminants. At that time, decontamination equipment was used [at the airport's restricted area] to prevent chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear accidents." Lam also said locating the decontamination and rescue facility near the North Fire Station of the airport makes it more convenient for manpower support and management.
