A portable/disposable decontamination enclosure unit comprising a frame system which includes first and second rectangular end members and at least two pairs of opposing vertical frame members having opposing ends attached to the first and second rectangular end members, the frame system being adapted to be manually extended from a retracted closed position to an extended open position in which position the frame system forms a generally oblong configuration. The extended frame system is enclosed by a length of lay-flat material substantially impermeable to particulate material forming a bag enclosure member, the bag member being flexible and collapsible and closed at one end to form the bottom of the bag, the other end having a rim edge defining an upper opening to receive the frame system, the bag member being sufficiently long to enclose the frame system when extended. The rim edge is sealed whereby the bag member and enclosed extended frame member define a chamber area substantially impermeable to particular material. A resealable port provides access to the chamber area.
