How Meth Is MadeThere are many ways to make meth and many different chemicals are used. Most of those chemicals can be found in your home. Meth is made from a very easy recipe and can be cooked and ready in a few hours from a mobile meth lab that can be relocated to avoid detection of any fumes or vapors that are associated with the process as well as keep the waste out of the cookers home. The contaminates are easily discarded in public places in a matter of seconds. Handling these toxic chemicals can be very hazardous to your health as well the environment.
Household chemicals that are used to cook meth include flammable solvents, like methanol, ether, benzene, methylene chloride, trichloroethylene, and toluene. Other chemicals are sodium hydroxide, muriatic acid, ammonia, table salt, over-the-counter cold medications containing ephedrine or pseudoephedrine, hydrochloric acid, drain cleaner, battery acid, lye, lantern fuel, and anti-freeze.
These chemicals can cause nausea, headaches, dizziness, and eye and skin burns and irritation. The contamination present in a former meth lab can affect soil, ground water, air, furniture, and structure materials, such as flooring, vents, and walls. Many of the contaminants present during the cooking process can be harmful if humans or pets are exposed to them. Cases have been reported where children and adults living in a house or other structure that formerly contained a lab encountered lingering health problems. |
