Clandestine Drug Labs the Problem 1998 EPA ERTV
Clandestine Drug Labs the problem 1998 EPA ERTV – Clandestine methamphetamine labs have been implicated in fires, explosions, toxic chemical releases, and hazardous waste dumping. Cooks with little or no training use chemicals from local drugstores, equipment from hardware stores, and recipes from the Internet. Cooks may be drug users, or they may be involved with drug cartels. T heir main concern is maintaining their supply of methamphetamine, without regard to the safety of their children or neighbors. Labs may be small and mobile, or they may blend in with the surrounding neighborhood, making them hard to locate until a disaster occurs. Teams of trained specialists from the USEPA assist police officers and firefighters in shutting down laboratory operations safely, cleaning up contaminated areas, and disposing of hazardous materials. These response teams are trained to handle unlabeled containers, unknown mixtures of chemicals, and high concentrations of toxic or explosive fumes. For more information on the hazards of these drug labs, go to the Wisconsin Health Department at dhs.wisconsin.gov This is clipped from the 1998 EPA 25 minute video, Clandestine Drug Labs, available from the EPAs ERTV at www.ertvideo.org .
