What Is Methamphetamine Contamination?
Meth contamination occurs when methamphetamine is manufactured, smoked, or stored in a property. The residue left behind can cling to surfaces, permeate porous materials, and spread through HVAC systems, creating an unsafe environment.
The Long-Term Effects of Meth Contamination
- Residues can remain toxic for years if untreated.
- Contamination can impact air quality and the structural integrity of surfaces.
Health Risks Associated with Meth Residue
Exposure to meth contamination can lead to:
Respiratory problems and persistent coughing.
Skin Irritation
or Rashes
Neurological effects such as headaches, dizziness, or confusion.
Increased risk of long-term health complications for children and vulnerable individuals.
When is Meth Decontamination Necessary?
Professional methamphetamine decontamination is essential if:
- The property has a history of being used as a meth lab.
- Residue or unusual stains are visible on walls, ceilings, or surfaces.
- A strong chemical or ammonia-like odor persists in the space.
- Occupants experience unexplained health issues, such as those listed above.
