NIOSH has not established health-based or feasibility-based airborne Recommended Exposure Limits (RELs) or surface contamination guidelines for clandestine drug laboratories. State surface contamination limits are provided as an aid to those seeking additional information and does not constitute endorsement by NIOSH. The National Alliance for Model State Drug Laws (NAMSDL) website (http:// www.namsdl.org/home.htm) periodically summarizes state feasibility-based decontamination limits and proposed state legislative requirements and guidelines. However, state information is subject to change, and specific state’s surface contamination limits, and other state decontamination requirements and guidelines should be obtained directly from each state.
