Industrial Hygienist Meth Residue Laboratory Testing:

The Spread of Meth Residue Contamination

Most chemicals used are volatile organic compounds, explosives, acids, bases, metals and chemical salts. Carpeting, wallboard, ceiling tile, wood and fabric absorb these materials. Furniture and draperies can become contaminated. Residue can be drawn into the heating/cooling system and distributed throughout the house. Spilled chemicals can contaminate walls, floors and counters. Chemicals disposed of by dumping in the yard pollute the soil, poured down the drain they can damage a septic system and leach into groundwater. For every pound of meth produced, 5-6 pounds of waste are left. Suspected chemical dumping in soil and sewage system should be reported to your local health department.
Clandestine drug labs or meth labs are highly volatile and dangerous, and present extreme risk of toxic, poisonous and corrosive exposure to anyone who comes in contact with the lab or its surrounds.

Independent Laboratory Testing on samples collected from a meth lab or suspected meth lab is the only way to determine what needs to be remediated, and what doesn’t. Meth Lab Cleaners Australia employ independent laboratory testing specialists for accurate results and a cost effective and successful remediation process. Three primary reasons for employing independent laboratory testing include:

• Analysis report providing recommendations for sufficient remediation action
• Industry standards are met for validation of re-habitation of a property
• Health and safety of any worker onsite both before, during and after remediation process
