I can't give you a complete answer, but I can tell you this much: an
environmental consultant told me that gas fumes from drug lab activity will
be dispersed rather quickly after the activity stops. However, there may be
dusts that remain. The most notable dust is mercuric chloride (as in
mercury). Maybe you can find an environmental firm to test for such a
dust. Mercuric chloride has a salty, spicy taste. There were times in
building number 1 when I tasted what was like salty laundry detergent in
the air.

Don't rely on your government to do anything about the matter. IN THE
NEW YORK METRO AREA THERE MUST BE 100,000+ ODORLESS DRUG
LABS WHICH ARE INFESTING APARTMENT BUILDINGS AND HOTELS. Yet
there are no drug lab busts here.

The government and the MEDIA DO NOT WANT THE GENERAL PUBLIC TO
KNOW THAT DRUG LABS ARE [FOR THE MOST PART] ODORLESS!

Do not rely on the EPA or your state's equivalent to do anything about the
matter. When I was in building 5 of 7 contaminated and infested buildings,
I called, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.

The first call was exploratory, and I asked: "Do you handle drug lab cases?"

The answer was "Yes, we do. We handle them in conjunction with the
State Police."

The second call was to report the criminality in building 5, and the
response was that "the information will be passed on to our enforcement
department."

Time went by with no action, so I called again to follow up, and the
response was "We don't handle such a case. We handle only outdoor
cases of pollution." In trying to reason with the female agent, she hung the
phone up in my face.

The next call was about a day later, and a male agent told me the same
thing: "WE DON'T HANDLE SUCH CASES!" Then he sternly asked me: "DO
YOU DOUBT MY WORD?" and he hung up the phone, too.

Over two years later, I was (and am currently in) building number 7. I
called the New Jersey Dept. of Environmental Protection, and asked: "Do
you handle drug lab cases?"

The response was: "Yes, we do."

GO FIGURE!!!
