Abstract
Seizures of clandestine methamphetamine drug laboratories are becoming increasingly common. Although the production of methamphetamine is a relatively simple process, it can have dangerous consequences and can place several groups of people at risk of exposure to toxic chemicals and its subsequent effects. Several significant steps have been taken in recent years to address this emerging problem. However, much more needs to be done to curtail the demand for methamphetamine and the production of methamphetamine by illicit drug laboratories.
