Fentanyl Cleanup Questions From South Charleston and Kanawha County
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.
Is touching fentanyl residue dangerous?
Risk depends on the amount and the form. Breathing powder or getting it in the mouth or eyes is the main concern, and brief skin contact is generally less risky. Still, avoid touching it. If it happens, wash with soap and water and call 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.
What if I find powder at work or in a public place?
Do not touch it, and keep others away. Tell a supervisor or the property manager and call 911 if anyone is ill. A cleanup team can clean the area afterward. Employers should also follow their own safety procedures.
What should I do if someone may have been exposed?
Call 911 if the person cannot be woken, is breathing slowly or is very drowsy. For other questions, call Poison Control. Get away from the area and wash skin with soap and water. Tell responders what you found and where, so they can act safely.
Can children and pets be near the area?
No. Keep them out until a cleanup team has finished. Children and pets are close to floors and furniture and are most at risk from residue. If one touches or swallows something unknown, call Poison Control or 911.
