Specialized detection, assessment, and remediation solutions for properties contaminated by illegal drug manufacturing operations.
Clandestine drug laboratories present unique and severe contamination challenges that require specialized detection and remediation approaches.
Clandestine drug laboratories utilize numerous hazardous chemicals that can persist long after lab operations cease. These chemicals can contaminate surfaces, penetrate building materials, and create dangerous residues throughout a property, posing serious health risks to future occupants.
EnviroDecon’s clandestine drug lab decontamination services combine advanced detection technologies with specialized remediation protocols to identify and neutralize chemical contamination, ensuring properties are safely restored to habitable conditions.
Unlike conventional cleaning services that may miss invisible contamination, our science-based approach detects and addresses the full spectrum of chemical residues associated with illegal drug production, providing comprehensive remediation that meets or exceeds regulatory standards.
Chemical contamination from drug labs can cause serious health effects through multiple exposure pathways.
Clandestine drug labs utilize numerous hazardous chemicals that can persist long after lab operations cease, including volatile organic compounds, corrosive substances, heavy metals, precursor chemicals, and drug residues that can cause toxicity even in small amounts.
Residual contamination from drug labs can enter the body through multiple pathways: inhalation of chemical vapors or dust, dermal absorption through skin contact with contaminated surfaces, ingestion via hand-to-mouth transfer, and ocular exposure through eye contact.
Immediate health effects from exposure can include respiratory irritation and difficulty breathing, eye and skin irritation or chemical burns, headaches, dizziness, nausea, chest pain, rapid heart rate, and confusion or disorientation.
Long-term exposure can lead to liver and kidney damage, neurological disorders, respiratory diseases, increased cancer risk, developmental delays in children, and reproductive issues, with children, elderly, pregnant women, and those with respiratory conditions at highest risk.
Our advanced surface fluorescence system reveals contamination invisible to the naked eye, providing real-time visualization for targeted remediation.
Our Fluorescence Image-Guided Surface Contamination Detection Technology (FIGSCDT) is a cutting-edge system that reveals invisible surface contamination in real-time. This advanced technology shines ultraviolet (UV) light on surfaces and detects autofluorescence at specific excitation/emission wavelengths, making the invisible visible.
The FIGSCDT system operates on a fundamental scientific principle: different biological molecules fluoresce at specific wavelengths when exposed to UV light. This natural phenomenon, known as autofluorescence, occurs without the need for additional chemical indicators or dyes.
When our specialized UV light source illuminates a surface, organic contaminants such as bacteria, mold spores, bodily fluids, and biofilms emit distinctive fluorescent signatures. Our calibrated detection system captures these emissions at precise wavelengths, creating a real-time visual map of contamination that would otherwise remain invisible to the naked eye.
Instantly reveals contamination patterns across surfaces for immediate assessment and targeted remediation.
Requires no sample collection or surface damage, preserving the integrity of the environment being assessed.
Identifies different types of biological contaminants based on their unique fluorescence signatures.
Efficiently scans large surface areas in minimal time, providing comprehensive contamination mapping.

The FIGSCDT system excels in a variety of environments where surface contamination poses risks:
Our FIGSCDT technology transforms the decontamination process by providing objective, science-based verification that goes far beyond the limitations of visual inspection. By revealing what conventional methods miss, we deliver superior outcomes and greater confidence in environmental safety.
Our advanced air fluorescence system identifies airborne biological contaminants in real-time, providing immediate classification and quantification.
Our Fluorescence Image-Guided Air Contamination Detection Technology (FIGACDT) is an advanced real-time bioaerosol detection system that samples air and analyzes airborne particles using sophisticated fluorescence technology. This cutting-edge system provides immediate identification and classification of biological contaminants in indoor air environments.
The FIGACDT system draws air samples through a specialized inlet and exposes airborne particles to ultraviolet (UV) light at specific wavelengths. When biological particles are illuminated, they emit distinctive fluorescence patterns based on their cellular composition. The system’s advanced sensors detect this autofluorescence at specific excitation/emission wavelengths, allowing for real-time classification of airborne contaminants.
Unlike traditional air sampling methods that require laboratory analysis, our FIGACDT technology provides immediate results through a comprehensive four-channel detection system that simultaneously monitors particle size, biofluorescence, fluorescence intensity, and spectral characteristics.

Methamphetamine contamination isn’t limited to production facilities. Even regular use in homes and facilities can leave behind dangerous residues.
When methamphetamine is smoked, vaporized, or heated, it releases microscopic particles that settle on surfaces throughout the environment. These particles are extremely persistent, remaining active for years if not properly remediated, highly transferable through touch and air movement, and able to penetrate porous surfaces like drywall, carpeting, and upholstery.
Exposure to methamphetamine residue from user contamination can cause significant health effects, particularly with prolonged exposure. Immediate symptoms include headaches, dizziness, eye and respiratory irritation, skin rashes, nausea, sleep disturbances, and behavioral changes, particularly in children.
Long-term health concerns include respiratory issues, neurological effects including memory problems, developmental delays in children, liver and kidney stress, potential reproductive health issues, and compromised immune function.
User-based contamination presents unique detection challenges with no obvious visual indicators like staining or chemical odors. Contamination is distributed throughout living spaces rather than concentrated in one area, and is often discovered only after occupants experience unexplained health issues.
Fentanyl contamination from user activity presents distinct challenges due to the drug’s extreme potency, with unique risks to vulnerable populations.
Fentanyl contamination in homes and facilities typically occurs through residue from smoking or vaporizing fentanyl, powder residue from handling or preparing the drug, cross-contamination from clothing or personal items, improper disposal of drug paraphernalia, and spills or releases during use.
While casual skin contact with fentanyl residue is unlikely to cause overdose (contrary to common misconceptions), exposure still presents significant health concerns. Ingestion presents the highest risk, particularly for young children, along with inhalation of airborne particles during cleaning or disturbance.
Vulnerable populations include infants and young children (hand-to-mouth behaviors), individuals with respiratory conditions, people with compromised immune systems, elderly individuals, and pregnant women.
Fentanyl contamination presents unique detection challenges as it’s invisible to the naked eye at dangerous concentrations, has no distinctive odor, and extremely small quantities can be hazardous. Standard cleaning does not effectively remove contamination.
