Hazards of illicit methamphetamine production and efforts at reduction: data from the hazardous substances emergency events surveillance system.

OBJECTIVES Methamphetamine (meth) is a highly addictive drug of abuse that can easily be made in small illegal laboratories from household chemicals that are highly toxic and dangerous. Meth labs have been found in locations such as homes, outbuildings, motels, and cars. Its production endangers the "cook," neighbors, responders, and the environment.

Methamphetamine Synthesis Inhibition: Dissolving Metal Reductions

In this paper, we report the status of our investigation into the feasibility of introducing a chemical agent into agricultural grade anhydrous ammonia that will render the ammonia useless for methamphetamine synthesis. Our goal is to provide a means to reduce the number, ease, and stealth that clandestine methamphetamine laboratories using the dissolving metal, or Nazi, synthetic method curren...
