containment facilities

Containment facilities are specialized environments designed to safely manage and store hazardous materials, such as biological agents, radioactive materials, or chemical substances. These facilities are engineered with strict safety protocols to prevent accidental release or exposure to harmful substances. They feature controlled access, advanced ventilation systems, and physical barriers to isolate potentially dangerous materials from the outside environment. The primary goal is to protect public health, safety, and the environment while allowing research or storage of these materials when necessary. Examples include labs handling infectious diseases and secure sites for nuclear waste.
