1. Know the dangers
Chemicals
Chemicals used during meth’s cooking process can be harmful if someone is exposed to them. These contaminants can cause short and long term health problems. These problems range from breathing, skin and eye irritation, headaches to nausea and dizziness.
Short term exposure
Acute (short-term) exposures to high concentrations of some of these chemicals, such as those law enforcement officers face when they first enter a lab, can cause severe health problems including lung damage and burns to different parts of the body.
Long Term Exposure
There are concerns over long term exposure to the contaminants left behind after a meth lab is dismantled. Contaminants in a meth lab property must be identified, their quantities measured, and their health effects known, before doctors or professionals can identify and understand long term effects.
