Fentanyl Decontamination Frequently Asked Questions in Upper Kensington, Philadelphia, PA
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.
How long does fentanyl residue stay on surfaces?
Residue can stay until it is cleaned, and no one can tell by looking. That is why a closed area should be left alone until a cleanup team has cleaned it. You can ask the team to explain the methods it uses and how it checks the work.
Can I clean fentanyl residue myself?
It is not recommended. Sweeping, wiping and vacuuming can lift fine powder into the air. Leave the area, keep people and pets out, and call 911 in an emergency or Poison Control with questions. Then ask a cleanup team about decontamination.
What do police and firefighters do about residue?
Responders deal with the emergency, collect evidence and make the scene safe. They do not usually clean the space afterward. Once the property is released, the owner or family books decontamination.
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.
Will the cleanup be private?
Many teams can arrive in an unmarked vehicle and work quietly. If privacy matters, ask about it when you call. The crew asks only what it needs to plan the work, and you decide what else to share.
