What is meth?
Methamphetamine (also known as Meth, Crystal Meth and Ice) is an illicit drug that is rapidly growing in use and manufacture around Australia. In fact, the number of Meth users has increased by 3 times since 2011 and the number of Meth Labs has more than doubled in the last six years. And these results are based on the labs that are actually busted, as little as 1 in 10. When Meth is smoked or manufactured in a property, it can leave an odorless, invisible residue that can only be detected through proper testing. If your house has been used as a clandestine lab or the past occupants had smoked the drug heavily, it is believed that this can create health issues for you and your family. Refer to the Australian Government Clandestine Drug Remediation Guidelines published in 2011.
What happens if meth was smoked or cooked in my home?
Methamphetamine Contamination is considered at an unacceptable level when tests show a positive result over 0.5μg/100cm². Over this level, it is recognised to be harmful to human and environmental health. Just as mold spores can cause ill health, so can Meth Contamination. The known side effects of living with high levels of Meth in your environment are breathing problems, skin and eye irritation, respiratory irritation, headaches, nausea and dizziness. In addition, babies and toddlers are at risk of ingesting the residue if they are crawling on the carpet and it contains residue. If a positive result is returned and the property requires decontamination, it is recommended that this be conducted by a cleaner specialising in this type of decontamination.
How is the meth screen conducted?
Testing a property for Meth is a non -invasive swab test that is conducted by a trained and qualified inspector. An indicative swab test can be conducted with further testing sent onto the lab for comprehensive analysis if required. The testing is discreet and accurate.
