The Growing Problem

Methamphetamine and fentanyl use is escalating across the United States, creating hidden risks in homes, rentals, public spaces, and workplaces. Recent research found methamphetamine in air samples on 100% of public buses and trains, and fentanyl in 25% of them — highlighting how easily hazardous drug particles can become airborne in everyday environments (University of Washington, 2023).

In 2022 alone, over 130,000 overdose deaths in the U.S. were tied to methamphetamine and fentanyl. Nearly 70% of stimulant-related deaths also involved fentanyl — often unknowingly mixed (NIDA & CDC, 2023).
