Meth Lab and Tear Gas Decon - NIDS Courses

Although many chemicals used in drug labs are also commonly found in homes, they are not usually combined in the way needed to create a clandestine laboratory. This course begins with an introduction to the world of the meth user, identifies what meth looks like, and what it takes to make it. The program then delves deep into the contamination associated with the cooking of methamphetamine and what dangers result from that cooking. Students will be taught how to survey the site, test for contaminants and write a work plan prior to decon, with the remainder of the course concentrating on the decontamination process, including hands-on practice.
