Abstract

A portable decontamination unit includes a portable housing which defines an interior sealable cavity accessible through a door. An inlet and an outlet are provided through the housing for introducing heated air into and removing the heated air from the cavity. A temperature sensor is positioned within the cavity for monitoring the temperature of the cavity and its contents, and an electronic display is provided of the temperature within the cavity over time. An ultraviolet lamp or other radiating device is positioned within the cavity for irradiating objects to be decontaminated with irradiating waves. An air scrubber is associated with the outlet, and fans are associated with both the inlet and outlet to condition air being forced into and extracted from the cavity.
