When body contamination occurs, decontamination is carried out basically by wiping with wet paper rag, pouring large amounts of running water, and using detergents such as neutral detergents. However, it can be said that these methods do not reflect much of the technological progress to date. For example, we believe that more efficient body decontamination can be achieved by applying new technologies of the beauty care and health care field. In this study, we evaluated the decontamination effects of multiple commercially available detergents and microbubble showers that are expected to have decontamination effects, through tests using a particulate visualization system and tests using radioactive substances.
