Meth Drug Lab DecontaminationWhat Is A Meth Lab?
Methamphetamine (also known as ‘meth’) and other illicit drugs are a significant problem in Australia. When meth is manufactured in illegal labs, cold pills, acetone, drain cleaner, paint thinner, battery acid and freon can be mixed with amphetamine to increase the potency of the drug. These dangerous chemical combinations are cooked in makeshift laboratories, often set up in homes, garages or motel rooms, creating toxic environments that pose serious health risks to anyone who enters, even long after the lab has been dismantled.

What Are The Dangers Of A Meth Lab?
These chemicals are dangerous with potential for explosion and the cooking process itself can also produce a significant amount of toxic waste, which can seep into porous surfaces as well as carpets, wood and clothes.
Because the residue from methamphetamine production clings to surfaces including wall, furniture and soft furnishings, people can ingest the meth through their skin or by touching affected surfaces. This can have serious health effects including anxiety, itchiness and headaches.
