Methamphetamine Contamination
Methamphetamine manufacture and use can contaminate houses by leaving residual chemicals on walls, ceilings, carpets, and soft furnishings. This can cause health risks to people (particularly children) living in these houses.
We recommend testing your property for methamphetamine contamination if;
- If there is a suspicion that the property may have been contaminated
- If buying or selling a property
- You are between rental property tenancies.
Testing for Methamphetamine
Assessments are conducted by competent and experienced testers in accordance with Precise Standard Operating Procedures and the methodology described in NZS 8510:2017, including NIOSH 9111 method for sample collection.
