peer agreement (net): +1decontamination unit/ tent Explanation: decontamination tent yields 3400 Google hits. if you want to use unit, however that corresponds even better with original text -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-01-30 18:47:09 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I took for granted that rense in this case means \"decontaminate\" and had nothing to do with personal hygiene. if this is not the case the Norwegian text is using the wrong word to describe what the tent can be used for Reference: http://www.ahsc.arizona.edu/opa/ahsnews/dec01/umced.htm |
