?What is fentanyl and why is it dangerous?
Fentanyl is a potent synthetic opioid, approximately 100 times stronger than morphine. Initially developed for medical use in pain management, it has become a prevalent substance in illicit drug markets due to its potency. The danger lies in its ability to cause overdose with even minute quantities, and its presence in properties where it has been used or manufactured poses severe health risks. Residual traces of fentanyl on surfaces or in the air can cause accidental exposure leading to respiratory distress, skin absorption, and even fatal outcomes. This makes addressing fentanyl contamination a critical safety and health priority.
Why are HVAC systems a concern in fentanyl-contaminated properties?
HVAC systems in fentanyl-contaminated properties pose a unique risk due to their ability to circulate airborne fentanyl particles throughout the building. Contaminants can accumulate within the ducts, filters, and vents, creating widespread biohazard exposure points. Attempting to clean HVAC systems without professional expertise can exacerbate the issue, spreading contaminants further. Certified professionals are equipped to safely decontaminate HVAC systems, ensuring the property meets safety and health standards.
