Common Questions About Fentanyl Exposure and Cleaning in Lower Burrell

Is it safe to reenter after cleanup?

A careful cleanup removes the residue it covers, and a final inspection checks the work. Rules for testing vary by place. Ask the team what was done and what was not checked, and ask the local health department what applies.

Do I need to be at the property?

Often not. In many cases the person who calls does not need to be on site. The team may need access, keys and a point of contact. Ask how that can be arranged, especially if you are out of town or the space is vacant.

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.

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 residue be on clothing or belongings?

It can. Clothing, bedding, bags and furniture in an affected space may carry powder. Do not shake them out. A team can advise on what to bag, clean or discard.

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.
