Are you aware items used in making meth can be bought just about anywhere? Did you know that areas where meth has been used can off-gas VOC's from the stains left?

Meth labs can be virturally anywhere. The use of meth inside can leave stains which will off-gas volatile organic compunds. This course will provide information on how to identify if a meth lab is present and how to perform a simple screen test to identify if meth has been present in an area.

This course has been designed for inspection purposes only and is not certified for decontamination, even though it covers how to remediate a building.
