As a Property Owner :
As a property owner or real estate agent managing rental properties you have a responsibility to ensure a property is safe for occupants. As well as contamination from drug manufacture, studies have established that smoking methyl amphetamine will contaminate the inside surfaces of buildings.
Should an illegal clandestine drug laboratory be identified at your property, regulatory authorities may issue a legally binding clean-up notice to ensure that the property is safe to re-occupy.
Purchased a new Home ?

Symptoms of exposure can include throat irritation, respiratory difficulties, headaches, skin conditions and mental health problems such as minor behavioural, psychological or physiological health effects. Adverse health effects are mainly related to long term rather than short term exposures.
