Can meth residue be transferred between surfaces?
Yes, meth residue can be transferred from one surface to another. This usually happens when contaminated dust or particles are disturbed and settle elsewhere—either through air circulation, cleaning attempts, or human contact. For example, if someone touches a contaminated wall and then a doorknob, residues can be spread. This is why remediation often involves comprehensive cleaning of all surfaces, not just the ones initially found to be contaminated. Cross-contamination is particularly problematic in shared spaces like apartment complexes and can lead to a broader scope of required remediation if not properly addressed.
