Abstract

Contamination of residential properties with illicit drug residues, notably methamphetamine, has been identified as a public health concern. There is little global consensus on the most effective method to determine the extent of contamination within a property and effectively remediate a contaminated property. This review covers current practises for methamphetamine remediation and identifies areas in which further research is required to adequately assess the risk to public health. Information in this review comes from peer reviewed journal articles, online databases and websites, and chemical safety data sheets. A brief discussion of current methamphetamine remediation policy in New Zealand is provided, together with the rationale behind its development. An evaluation of the chemical contamination signature from methamphetamine abuse is provided, followed by an assessment of current decontamination methods, addressing limitations which impact their efficacy. Novel chemical decontamination strategies and areas of further research are also identified and discussed.

综述了目前甲基苯丙胺的修复方法、局限性和已研究的化学降解技术

住宅物业被非法药物残留，特别是甲基苯丙胺污染，已被确定为一个公共卫生问题。在确定财产内污染程度和有效补救受污染财产的最有效方法上，几乎没有全球共识。本次审查涵盖了目前甲基安非他明的补救做法，并确定了需要进一步研究的领域，以充分评估对公众健康的风险。本综述中的信息来自同行评议的期刊文章、在线数据库和网站以及化学品安全数据表。简要讨论了新西兰目前的甲基苯丙胺补救政策及其制定政策的理由。对甲基苯丙胺滥用的化学污染特征进行了评价，然后对目前的去污方法进行了评估，解决了影响其效力的局限性。还确定和讨论了新的化学净化策略和进一步研究的领域。

期刊介绍： Forensic Chemistry publishes high quality manuscripts focusing on the theory, research and application of any chemical science to forensic analysis. The scope of the journal includes fundamental advancements that result in a better understanding of the evidentiary significance derived from the physical and chemical analysis of materials. The scope of Forensic Chemistry will also include the application and or development of any molecular and atomic spectrochemical technique, electrochemical techniques, sensors, surface characterization techniques, mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance, chemometrics and statistics, and separation sciences (e.g. chromatography) that provide insight into the forensic analysis of materials. Evidential topics of interest to the journal include, but are not limited to, fingerprint analysis, drug analysis, ignitable liquid residue analysis, explosives detection and analysis, the characterization and comparison of trace evidence (glass, fibers, paints and polymers, tapes, soils and other materials), ink and paper analysis, gunshot residue analysis, synthetic pathways for drugs, toxicology and the analysis and chemistry associated with the components of fingermarks. The journal is particularly interested in receiving manuscripts that report advances in the forensic interpretation of chemical evidence. Technology Readiness Level: When submitting an article to Forensic Chemistry, all authors will be asked to self-assign a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) to their article. The purpose of the TRL system is to help readers understand the level of maturity of an idea or method, to help track the evolution of readiness of a given technique or method, and to help filter published articles by the expected ease of implementation in an operation setting within a crime lab.
