Fentanyl Decontamination Frequently Asked Questions in Ogdensburg, NY

What does fentanyl residue look like?

It can be a fine powder, a faint film or nothing visible at all. Because it is hard to recognize, treat any unknown powder as hazardous. Do not touch or smell it. Leave the area and call 911 or Poison Control.

Does a cleanup team test for fentanyl?

Some teams offer sampling and some do not. Rules for testing and clearance vary by place. Ask the team what it checks, and ask the local health department what applies where you live.

Is it safe to reenter after cleanup?

A careful cleanup removes the residue it covers, and a final inspection checks the work. Rules for testing vary by place. Ask the team what was done and what was not checked, and ask the local health department what applies.

Why can't I just vacuum or sweep?

Fine powder can rise into the air when it is swept, wiped dry or vacuumed with an ordinary vacuum. Cleanup teams use wet methods and controlled equipment so particles stay down. Agencies such as the CDC advise against disturbing powder.

Is fentanyl a hazardous material?

It is a controlled drug and a health hazard when exposed. How it is labeled depends on the legal setting, but for safety purposes it should be treated with care. Cleanup crews use protective gear and handle waste by the rules that apply.

How is the waste handled?

Contaminated materials are sealed in labeled containers and hauled away. Rules vary by location, and some waste may need special handling. Ask the team how its waste is hauled and disposed of, and ask for records at the end of the job.
