The crew at the elementary school reports a density of .4 part per million (ppm) of chlorine around the school. The concentration at the edge of the cold zone is .25 ppm.

Message 6:
It is 3 p.m.
The bodies of the three workers at the plant have been retrieved. All others have been accounted for, treated, and released.
The National Weather Service (NWS) forecasts that a cold front will be passing through within the next several hours and with that will come a return to more normal temperatures. The wind is expected to shift to the northwest and increase to 15 to 20 miles per hour, dissipating the remaining chlorine.
Contaminant levels are now at .15 ppm throughout the area.
Task:
The bodies of the 3 employees that have been removed from the building are still lying under sheets in the plant’s front lobby. The Chief Medical Examiner, will not move the bodies due to their potential contamination and insists that he / she will do their investigation on site when they get there in he next 48 hours. You know that you will need to store the bodies somewhere on site until he gets there. The local hospital and funeral homes also refuse to move the bodies due to potential contamination. You have been asked to make a decision on how to handle the problem.
Make a decision on how to handle the bodies. Use your creativity. If your solution is less than orthodox from how traditional bodies are stored be sure to defend your decision.
