What is a meth lab?
Meth can be manufactured in a
clandestine drug lab (meth lab) in a variety of indoor and
outdoor locations, including houses, apartment buildings,
motels, vehicles, wooded areas or fields. Meth is manufactured
(or “cooked”) by applying common, readily available materials to
one of several basic recipes.
Meth "recipes" can be easily obtained through the Internet or by
associating with other cooks. There are hundreds of chemical
products and substances that are used interchangeably to produce
meth. The substitution of one chemical for another in meth
recipes may cause the process to be more hazardous (resulting in
fire or explosion) or may result in a tainted, final product
with unwanted or dangerous effects.

Many dangerous chemical
ingredients are used to make meth. The cooking process causes
chemical residues and meth to be deposited on surfaces and
household belongings. Also, chemical by-products such as toxic
phosphine gas may be formed during meth manufacture. This may
occur through planned chemical interaction, or by processing
errors, such as increasing cooking temperatures too rapidly.
Every meth "recipe" starts with over-the-counter medications
that include pseudoephedrine or ephedrine in their contents.
The pills are crushed and mixed with other chemicals in the
process of cooking meth. Various meth recipes include
combinations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), acids, bases,
metals, solvents and salts. Making meth with these chemicals
can result in explosions, chemical fires, and the release of
toxic gases.
Meth cooking also produces
solid and liquid wastes that can contaminate a building and its
contents, or the groundwater or soil where they are dumped.
What are the potential
health effects from exposure to a meth lab?
Health effects caused by
exposure to meth lab chemicals depend on: (1) the lab process
and chemicals used; (2) the amount of chemical and length of
exposure; and (3) the age and health of the person exposed.
Chemicals may enter the body by being breathed, eaten, or
absorbed through the skin..
An acute exposure is one that
occurs over a relatively short period of time. Acute exposure to
meth lab chemicals can cause shortness of breath, cough, chest
pain, dizziness, lack of coordination, chemical irritation, or
burns to skin, eyes, nose and mouth. Death could result when
exposure is to a particularly toxic chemical or the person
exposed is particularly vulnerable. Acute exposures can occur in
non-drug users during or immediately after ‘cooking’.
Less severe exposures can
result in symptoms such as headache, nausea, dizziness, and
fatigue or lethargy. These symptoms have been known to occur in
people exposed to active labs, but also in people
---particularly law enforcement personnel and other first
responders --- who have entered a drug lab before the site has
been cleaned or ventilated. These less-severe symptoms usually
go away after several hours of exposure to fresh air.
Exposures to lab chemicals or
byproducts over a long period of time - called chronic exposures
- may cause both long-term and short-term health effects.
Long-term exposures to VOCs may result in liver and kidney
damage, neurological problems, and increased risk of cancer.
Even at low levels, exposures for long periods by people living
in a former lab site could result in serious health effects.
How do I recognize a meth lab? - Meth lab signs:
Clues that may indicate
illegal production or sales of drugs, including meth, are::
- Frequent visitors at all times of the day or night,
- Occupants appear unemployed, yet make cash purchases and payments,
- Occupants are unfriendly, appear secretive about activities, or lie
and display odd or paranoid behavior,
- Covering or blacking-out of windows,
- Other security measures, such as signs posted around the property,
fences and cameras or baby monitors outside of buildings,
- Burn pits, stained soil or dead vegetation indicating dumping of
chemicals or waste,
- Strong chemical odors, including sweet, bitter, ammonia or solvent
smells at various and random times during the day and/or
night,
- Waste in trash, pits or piles, such as:
-
Packaging from over-the-counter ephedrine or pseudoephedrine
cold, diet or allergy pills
- Empty
containers from: antifreeze, white gas, ether, starting
fluids, Freon, lye or drain openers, paint thinner, acetone,
or alcohol
-
Compressed gas cylinders, or camp stove (Coleman) fuel
containers
-
Packaging from epsom salts or rock salt
-
Anhydrous ammonia tanks; propane tanks or coolers containing
anhydrous ammonia
-
Pyrex/glass/Corning containers, with dried chemical deposits
remaining
-
Bottles or containers connected with rubber hosing and duct
tape
-
Coolers, thermos bottles, or other cold storage containers
-
Respiratory masks and filters or dust masks
-
Funnels, hosing and clamps
- Coffee
filters, pillow cases or bed sheets stained red (used to
filter red phosphorous), or containing a white powdery
residue
What to do if you find a
meth lab
An individual who believes he
or she has discovered an illegal drug lab or the site of an
abandoned lab should immediately notify local law enforcement
(Dial 911) and should not enter the area of the suspected lab.
Anyone who inadvertently enters a lab should back out
immediately without disturbing the cooking process, chemicals or
equipment..
Contact your local law
enforcement and the local city or county public health agency.
Depending on the severity of contamination, the type of site and
the individuals involved, one or more of the following agencies
may need to be involved in investigation, evaluation, sampling
or remediation of the site:
Officers responding to a drug
lab call may also decide to notify one or more of the following:
- Local: fire department, bomb squads, hazardous materials (Hazmat)
teams, city/county attorney, county agriculture, city/county
health and licensing authorities, animal control, household
hazardous waste, child protection, or other human service
agency
- State: Highway Patrol, Pollution Control, Bureau of Criminal
Apprehension, Departments of Agriculture, Health, Natural
Resources or Transportation, or the Attorney General
- Federal: Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA)
- Private: environmental cleanup company, poison control center,
hospital or clinic
