To remove or neutralize radiation from plants
To remove or neutralize hazardous material from clothing, equipment, vehicles, and personnel
To degrade pesticides for safer disposal

The correct answer is: To remove or neutralize hazardous material from clothing, equipment, vehicles, and personnel

Decontamination in the context of pesticide handling refers to the process of removing or neutralizing hazardous materials from various surfaces such as clothing, equipment, vehicles, and personnel. This crucial procedure is essential to prevent the unintended spread or exposure to harmful pesticides, ensuring the safety of both applicators and the environment. Options A, B, and D are not directly related to the concept of decontaminating pesticides and are therefore incorrect in this context.
