Zusammenfassung:	A method of decontaminating a location containing pyrophoric P4-contamination is described. It comprises bringing to the location a portable vehicle which comprises at least one of the necessary items needed to accomplish the contacting of the P4-contaminated material, while it is under a protective blanket of a nonflammable fluid, with an oxygen-containing gas, such as air, pure oxygen, or mixtures thereof. The portable vehicle may contain, for example, a scrubber, a source of oxygen, a pump, means to convey the oxygen-containing gas to the P4-contaminated material, and means to convey any effluent resulting from the treatment to suitable recovery or treatment apparatus.
