• What is the risk and health impact to children, adults, and law enforcement personnel from exposure to the manufacture of methamphetamine and amphetamine in residential units including rental units, hotels and motels?
• What is the risk and health impact to children, adults, and law enforcement personnel from exposure to the residual contamination left behind from the manufacture of methamphetamine and amphetamine?

The project consisted of four phases. All resulting documents were finalized following revision based on public comment.

Phase One: Literature Review
This phase of the project entails a written summary and listing of each document found during a review of the professional literature concerning adverse health effects resulting from exposure to methamphetamine or amphetamine laboratories. Each document was reviewed and a summary of reported health effects listed for: (1) persons making the drugs; (2) family and children present during manufacture; and (3) law enforcement personnel entering the lab to seize it. A brief critique of each document is also provided. In addition, a description of the contaminants of concern considered most dangerous to the human health of the three populations listed above is also provided.

• Literature Review of Health Effects from Exposure to Methamphetamine Laboratories and Hazardous Chemicals in Illicit Methamphetamine and Amphetamine Laboratories

Phase 2: Recommendations for Remediation/Clean-up Standards
This phase of the project includes a written recommendation stating standards of practice for remediation of air handling systems, plumbing in the housing units and common sewers, wall surfaces and draperies, smooth surfaces, flooring surfaces including carpet, wood and concrete, ceiling surfaces, and contaminated concrete and wallboard which compose floors, walls, and ceilings, as well as provisions for when soil sampling is recommended. A written recommendation stating appropriate remediation levels for the clean up of residual contamination found in residential property resulting from the manufacture of methamphetamine and amphetamine is also provided.

• Recommendation of Remediation/Work Practices and Clean up Levels

Phase 3: Law Enforcement Work Practices
This phase of the project includes recommendations for work practices for law enforcement officers entering illegal drug laboratories for interdiction purposes including protocols for entry and investigation, officer safety equipment, and proper medical monitoring. These recommendations are based on California Department of Justice Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement draft guidelines.

• Recommendation of Work Practices to Maintain Officer Safety

Phase 4: Board of Technical Registration Certification
This phase of the project includes recommendations for certification, by the Board of Technical Registration or other administrative board in Arizona, of remediation specialists working to remediate residual contamination at illegal drug laboratories from the manufacture of methamphetamine and amphetamine. These recommendations have been adapted from Washington State Department of Health guidelines.

• Standards for Certification of Illegal Drug Laboratory Remediation Specialist
