Fentanyl Decontamination & Remediation - Lincoln, NE
Fentanyl, a very potent synthetic opioid, can contaminate vehicles, homes, businesses, and public spaces, posing serious health hazards to anyone who may come into contact with it. It is a drug used both medically and illicitly. Unfortunately, even small amounts can cause severe complications without proper care.

You called the right team for the job
It is critical to seek help from a professional who knows how to safely handle fentanyl decontamination if there is a risk of fentanyl contamination in a home or vehicle.
The professionals at Bio-One of Lincoln can help remove fentanyl from any space quickly and securely to reduce the potential of any harm associated with exposure.
Understanding Synthetic Opioids
Synthetic opioids are substances that are synthesized in a laboratory. Synthetic opioids target the brain, producing an analgesic effect. These synthetic opioids are potent drugs that can be ingested through:
- Skin Contact
- Oral consumption
- Inhalation
This poses a significant risk to occupants of the home or business and first responders where there is a risk of exposure to fentanyl, who may come into contact with and unintentionally ingest the drug without being aware of it.
Often, a slight exposure does not produce toxicity, but you should wash your hands with soap and water as quickly as possible if it gets on your skin and avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth before washing thoroughly. It is also important to note that alcohol-based hand sanitizers or bleach should not be used to wash away fentanyl, as they may increase skin absorption.
The Role of Property Owners in Fentanyl Contamination
The property owner is responsible for cleaning up fentanyl contaminations. Even a small contamination could harm a person inexperienced with proper drug handling, so the owner must pay a professional cleaning crew to ensure the area is safe for other residents.
If you are a landlord and a tenant is using illegal drugs, you may face legal trouble if you do not have a clean area for new tenants to move into. Especially if the new tenants fall ill because of repeated exposure or if the condition becomes life-threatening.
The only way to know if the space is clean is to hire a fentanyl cleanup service with the proper training and equipment.
Compassion. Experience. Respect.
Health Risks Associated with Fentanyl Exposure
Without fentanyl remediation, there are potential health risks from exposure to this drug. While not every fentanyl exposure is fatal, there are warning signs that signal you to evacuate the area until it's properly cleaned. Some common symptoms of fentanyl exposure include:
- Respiratory Distress
- Drowsiness
- Dizziness
- Disorientation
- Nausea/Vomiting
If you notice these symptoms or see someone lose consciousness, you should immediately call for help. You should also avoid entering that area again until you have a professional take care of the fentanyl cleanup process.
Long-term effects of fentanyl exposure can cause depression, impulsive behaviors, and other physical and mental effects. There is also a higher risk of death if the exposure continues to build up in the body.
Why Professional Decontamination and Remediation is Essential
Fentanyl decontamination is best left to people who know how to handle hazardous material cleanup. This means they will be wearing PPE hazmat suits with respirator masks, which most people do not have access to. From there, a cleaning team can also use air scrubbers and other cleaning tools to remove the substance from drywall, concrete, HVAC systems, vents, groundwater, and other areas where it may have been spread.
