The manufacture of methamphetamine in homes constitutes a serious and growing exponential environmental problem in the US. Illegal drugs are manufactured out of easy to buy materials and equipment and require little to no training of the basic chemistry needed to produce a harmful, illegal drug. How do you know whether or not your home was used as a drug house or used to manufacture methamphetamine? 

First, check with your local agencies: health department, drug task force, or your community policing service to see if your address is on a contaminated property listing or is a known drug site. Then and most importantly, test for methamphetamine residue.
