Spanish term or phrase: olona de proteccion
Text on decontamination equipment, it seems very poorly written as you can see, does anyone know what an "olona de proteccion" might be? I can only think logically that it would mean a gas mask to protect from gases like mustard gas...

Tienda neumatica campal para 6 duchas.
alimentada por el equipo de descontaminacion. En acero inoxidable, completa de 6 box para uso simultaneo, con mezcla automatica de producto descontaminante por cada salida. Completa de todos los accesorios: instalacion electrica, contenedor para la recuperacion del agua contaminada, bomba de evacuacion de la misma, iluminacion a 24 V., area para desnudarse y para cubrirse. Se entrega tambien con una **olona de proteccion** da usarse en caso sea necesaria proteccion da gases (iperita etc.).

Medidas externas: mm.7200x5260x2540 H

Para descontaminar en contemporaneo 6 personas en ambiente protegido

sealable protective bag/cover


Explanation:
This or protective clothing are the only protection against Mustard gas(Yprite), blistering and nerve agents.

Gas masks are not adequate protection against vesicants or nerve agents, which attack the skin or enter through it. These agents penetrate cloth and leather with ease (they are designed to do so), so nothing but full coverage is effective. In World War II, the United States issued protective bags with a clear top and an O.D. bottom that could be quickly slipped over a uniform. These "garments" were made of a water-soluble nonpermeable film, and came in a small packet the size of a wallet. After the war, surplus stores sold them as raincoats, an application for which they were ludicrously unsuitable. In an emergency, a cheap plastic raincoat or oilcloth will give some protection. An expensive Burberry is useless, since it is porous.

A \"canvas\" cover won\'t do it because canvas is porous and needs to be sealed.
