Methamphetamine: Meth's toxic toll on environment

Article Abstract:

A study shows that every pound of methamphetamine produced creates five to seven pounds of toxic chemical waste, which is often dumped into public sewer systems or in yards, farms, streams or lakes and about one-third of the chemicals used in making meth are dangerously toxic. Three states in United States require that all employees involved in meth cleanup operations be trained and certified.
