Amphetamines Decontamination
A Thorough, Professional Approach
Amphetamines, including methamphetamine and other illicit stimulants, pose severe health risks and can leave lasting damage when manufactured or used within a property. In Australia, amphetamine contamination has become a significant concern, particularly in residential and rental properties, as residues can persist for years, creating a toxic environment long after drug activity ceases.
Why Amphetamine Decontamination is Essential
The incidence of synthetic opioid contamination is rising across Australian cities, posing risks to individuals across many environments. In 2022, Australia reported a 15% increase in synthetic opioid-related overdoses, with fentanyl being a primary contributor in the majority of cases. The challenge is not only overdose deaths but also unintentional exposure risks in locations where fentanyl residues linger, endangering public health and safety.
Australian Market Data: Amphetamine Contamination and Its Impactc
The rise in amphetamine usage has led to a spike in clandestine labs across Australia, with police reporting around 40 meth labs discovered per week nationwide. The Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC) highlights methamphetamine, known locally as “ice,” as one of the most significant contributors to the contamination crisis, with notable hotspots in Queensland, New South Wales, and Western Australia.
