Could You Be Living in a Former Meth Home?

May 13, 2008 - The DEA calls methamphetamine the most dangerous drug in America because of the overwhelming effects it has on users, the enviornment and the innocent children and adults exposed to it.

"You have a fire hazard. You have a poisionous hazard, a caustic hazard, explosion hazard. There is just an untold number of hazards in one of these sites."

Once the evidence is collected, and arrests made, the site still stands. DEA reports say for every pound of meth produced, five pounds of toxic waste can be absorbed by the walls, the carpet, and lingering in vents.

"Those hazards still exist. There could be chemicals that could make you sick or in worst case scenario kill you."

New residents can move in and never know their home is a former meth lab.
