WHAT IS A CLAN LAB?

A clan (clandestine) lab is a makeshift laboratory for the manufacture of illicit drugs. The most common drug produced in clan labs is P/meth/ice. Clan labs can be easily set up in a residential property, commercial property or motel unit, and only require access to running water and a power source. It is estimated that a clan lab producing one kilogram of P/meth/ice creates seven kilograms of toxic by-product (P/meth/ice pollution), contaminating the property with residue containing carcinogens.

TOXIC VAPOUR.

Exposure to P/meth/ice residues can create significant short and long-term health risks. Meth's toxic vapours permeate the property surfaces and those exposed to these surfaces can ingest the contaminants.

Babies and small children exposed to the toxic by-products tend to suffer a higher degree of health issues. The safety of you, your family or your clients is paramount.
