Recent statistics from the Drug Enforcement Administration indicate that 98 percent of clandestine laboratories seized are methamphetamine labs. The numbers of laboratories seized have increased in recent years. The majority of labs seized today are using the red phosphorus, iodine, ephedrine/pseudoephedrine reduction method. Labs have many styles: biker or traditional, Mexican National, cold-cook, pressure cooker, hydrogenation, and Tweeker. Chemicals used to manufacture methamphetamine are easily obtainable. They include precursors, reagents, catalysts, and solvents. Laboratory equipment runs the full spectrum from the scientific to the yard-sale purchase. The laboratories contain highly flammable materials and deadly chemicals. They are located in hotel rooms, apartments, houses, storage lockers, and vehicles. Police officers who investigate these laboratories need thorough training and certification following a 40-hour course. They must also complete an annual 8-hour recertification course and undergo an annual physical examination. Processing clandestine laboratories requires specialized clothing and equipment. A licensed hazardous waste contractor must dispose of the hazardous waste remaining after evidence is seized. Photographs
