What kinds of chemicals are used to make meth?
Meth can be made using many different chemical “recipes,” but all require over-the-counter medications that contain pseudoephedrine or ephedrine. Most processes include the use of volatile organic chemicals (VOCs), acids, bases, metals and chemical salts. Many steps are involved in making meth, and other harmful chemicals can be formed during the process. As a result, hundreds of different chemicals can contribute to the contamination of a property.
