So you are stuck with the Meth Lab. Most of the calls that came about testing and cleaning the meth laboratory came from one of two people. Landlords whose tenants decide to turn the unit into a meth lab or homeowners who have just learned that their home was previously a meth lab or are looking to buy a home that is used as a meth lab. Here are some important things you should and shouldn't do to get started:
First of all, don't even think about cleaning this up yourself! Shabu lab is more dangerous than any legal lab or chemical factory. The Meth Laboratory has been marked as "an explosion waiting to occur." In fact, 25% -30% of all laboratories are found in the United States. found as a result of fire or explosion.
The chemicals used to cook meth and toxic compounds and the by-products produced from their manufacture produce vapors, smoke and toxic spills. Exposure to even low levels of some meth materials can cause eye and tissue irritation, headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and fatigue; exposure to high levels can cause coughing, shortness of breath, lack of coordination, chest pain, chemical burns (on the skin, eyes, mouth and nose), and death. Corrosive substances can cause injury through inhalation or contact with skin. Solvents can irritate the mucous membranes, skin, and respiratory tract and affect the central nervous system. Prolonged exposure to chemicals commonly used in methyl production can cause cancer; damage the brain, kidneys, spleen, liver, and immunological system; and result in birth defects. Afraid? Well!
Is there a company out there that claims to be able to clean the met lab quickly, cheaply and even without testing? Of course but, remember, you get what you pay for and this is serious business. There is no quick fix to clean the meth lab. There are many types of contaminants (poisons) that are used in meth cooking and they are used at different levels. Without proper pre-decontamination testing, it is impossible to determine what type of remediation needs to be done. If a contractor assures you that they can neutralize meth with the magic chemicals they use, be careful. There are very few idexx indonesia chemicals that can neutralize meth molecules and which are very dangerous if not handled properly. In addition, the same neutralizing chemicals may be very corrosive so they can damage your property permanently.
The BEST meth lab remediation company DO NOT neutralize meth on your property. They DELETE completely and use environmentally friendly methods.
Some other things DO NOT WORK, even if your country's guidelines recommend it. Remember, this is your property, your legal obligations, and your health.
Painting, or encapsulation. It DOES NOT WORK! The methane residue is still there and it will make its way to the surface. This has been proven time and time again by testing homes that have been damaged by crystal meth labs years before, the interior has been painted several times, and STILL very high levels of meth throughout the house. DO NOT PAINT. If you do, the paint must be stripped as an additional step to repair.
Rub with household cleaners and detergent. DO NOT WORK and can worsen the situation. In fact, you might have just moved the metric residue to an area that wasn't previously high. You also face the risk of a chemical reaction between anything you rub on the wall and the elements used to cook the met. VERY DANGEROUS!
Heating (burning) is recommended in several country guidelines. DO NOT! If you have a central heating and / or air conditioning system, it is likely to have been contaminated and most of the time the system has meth inside it up to 25x greater than the rest of the structure. Bringing up that system would only increase contamination in all structures and highly toxic homes can quickly become just deadly!
This is a serious business and it is very important for you to bring someone qualified to deal with this for you. Half a step and band aids will not give you peace of mind, security, and important documentation that can be legally maintained that you have a professionally repaired structure that is clean and suitable for living. Take the time to find a licensed professional laboratory cleaning company that will help you take your property back!
