Illegal Drug Lab
Information
If you suspect a met lab on or near
your property, contact local law enforcement immediately. In Miami County,
call either 911 or the Anonymous Meth Hotline at 800-453-4756.
Meth labs can be set up just about
anyplace inside or out including; homes, motels, abandoned buildings, and even
vehicles. The manufacture of meth, known as cooking, leaves behind
chemical residues which can be harmful to health. The cooking process
itself can also be dangerous.
Before someone tries to use property
that housed a meth lab, complete cleanup is necessary. It is not
considered safe for a property owner to do this themselves, instead the work
should be performed by experienced hazardous materials contractors.
