Problems with Storage
Methamphetamine hydrochloride should be stored in tight, light containers and tablets should be stored in closed containers. Should be stored at a temperature from 15 to 30 degrees C, anything below 40 degrees C.
Problems with Synthesis
One of the largest problems with the synthesis of methamphetamine is that it is extremely simple to make. Therefore, people without a proper understanding of chemistry attempt to make it themselves. The materials used for manufacturing methamphetamine are extremely corrosive and flammable. If people with minimal knowledge use these hazardous chemicals in an improper way, making methamphetamine would be very risky, especially for their own lives and the environment around the lab.
Problems with Disposal
Outdoor Problems: dumping and burying the waste allows chemical wastes to go into the ground and they can contaminate the ground water and drinking water well. Burning the waste produces ash and the ash and soil under the burn areas can leave high concentrations and toxic chemicals. Disposing chemical wastes down the drain causes contamination of the soil and ground if the chemicals go into the drain field. If a home depends on a water well, the well water can be contaminated from disposed or buried chemicals
Indoor Problems: spillage of hazardous chemicals can be found on carpets, countertops, and drained where the disposal happened. The toxic vapor from the cooking process allow the methamphetamine residues to be deposited on surfaces like the walls, ceilings, floors, and furniture. The ventilation, air conditioning, and heating systems in the house allow the vapor from the cooking process circulate throughout the entire home, regardless of where the cooking of the chemicals occurred.
