Clandestine Drug Labs
What we Do-chemicals used in the production of illicit drugs present a health risk to the occupants and neighbours of dwellings and other structures. Such chemicals can contaminate structures and their furnishings and cause harm to occupants and visitors without their awareness.
Health risks involved in the manufacture of illegal drugs are considerable even after clandestine drug labs have been removed. Potential immediate health hazards from exposure to an illegal drug include shortness of breath, coughing, chest pains, dizziness, lack of coordination, cemical irritation and burns to the skin, eyes, mouth and nose. Long term health hazards may include cancer, damage to the brain, liver and kidneys.
Mistral surface drug detection products can be used for sampling assessments for illegal drugs in suspected manufacturing sites prior to clean up. Once decontamination is completed, the products may again be used as a final check to ensure the property is completely safe and that the clean up process has been effective. |
