What’s the difference between residue from meth use and meth manufacturing?
Meth use, especially when smoked, can leave behind lower levels of contamination compared to manufacturing. However, both activities are harmful. Smoking meth in a room repeatedly can cause residue to settle on surfaces and get into porous materials like carpets, drywall, and upholstery. Manufacturing, on the other hand, involves hazardous chemicals and produces both airborne and surface contamination at much higher concentrations. Additionally, manufacturing releases volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can seep into structural materials and pose long-term health risks. Professional testing distinguishes between levels and can provide insight into whether a space was used for consumption or full-scale production.
