Do all meth labs produce detectable contamination?
Not all meth labs produce high levels of contamination, but most do. The level depends on how often meth was cooked, the method used, and the materials involved. Even small-scale, one-time meth cooks can leave behind detectable—and dangerous—residues. Some users smoke meth indoors rather than manufacture it, which still leads to contamination, particularly in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces. Certified testing professionals use specific sampling techniques and equipment that can detect even trace amounts of meth on walls, counters, and HVAC systems, ensuring nothing is missed regardless of the meth lab’s size or duration.
What happens if contaminated items are accidentally left in the vehicle overnight?
The vehicle undergoes deep cleaning to remove potential pathogens and odors.
