Exclusion zones
Definition
Exclusion zones are designated areas around hazardous sites where access is restricted or prohibited due to safety concerns. These zones are established to protect people from potential dangers such as radiation, chemical spills, or natural disasters.
Analogy
Imagine exclusion zones as invisible force fields that keep you safe from harm. Just like how a superhero's force field protects them from danger, exclusion zones shield us from hazardous substances and situations.
