Under Wisconsin State Statute 254, local health departments are responsible for dealing with human health hazards.  The Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services website contains additional information and recommendations for the cleanup of chemical residues at former meth lab sites, and that department can provide assistance for agencies dealing with high production meth labs.

In addition to the human health concerns and fatalities associated with clandestine methamphetamine laboratories, such operations are also extremely hard on the environment.  Meth labs frequently are responsible for toxic air emissions, soil and water contamination and hazardous waste accumulations, as well as causing irreversible and costly damage to structures and vehicles.
