Abstract from DBPedia
    Contamination is the presence of a constituent, impurity, or some other undesirable element that spoils, corrupts, infects, makes unfit, or makes inferior a material, physical body, natural environment, workplace, etc.

    コンタミネーション(英語: contamination)は、特に科学実験の場における汚染のこと。「実験汚染」「実験室汚染」「試料汚染」などの訳語があてられる場合もあるが定訳はなく、そのままコンタミネーションとして、あるいは略してコンタミと呼ばれることが多い。
