Meth labs require evaluation, cleanup and decontamination by trained and certified professionals.

There can be serious health problems in people or animals exposed to meth labs. Potentially deadly chemicals (either meth or by-products of cooking) can enter the body by inhalation, ingestion or absorption through the skin. Clandestine Meth labs may leave contamination on hard surfaces like walls, countertops, sinks, heating and air ducting, and may also be absorbed by soft goods items like furniture, drapes, and carpet. Meth use and the production of meth even in small amounts can cause serious health problems not only in the users, but also in others who are unintentionally or unknowingly exposed.
