Thought for the Day
Every day a child gets sick because they are living in a meth lab home and their parents don't know it. No one ever thought it was important enough to tell them. Warning others about a meth lab home before they buy or rent it is the right thing to do.
The cooking of these chemicals produces vapors which permeate the interior materials of building, including sheet rock, carpets, and other porous surfaces. These chemical residues continue to volatilize from these reservoirs long after the laboratory is dismantled. This creates a potential for long-term exposure resulting in adverse health effects if a building is reoccupied without decontamination. Many of the chemicals used in methamphetamine manufacture are known to be carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic in animal and human studies. — Harriet Amman, Ph.D. D.A.B.T.
