Introduction

The operational need for the safe and environmentally responsible handling, storage and disposal of seized chemicals used in illicit drug manufacture may arise in remote locations where no waste management infrastructure or expert technical support is available to Governments or regulatory authorities. In many such cases, the management or disposal of seized chemicals is necessary to reduce or eliminate serious and immediate risks to human health, communities, the environment and critical resources such as groundwater, drinking water and agricultural land.

Sustainable Development Goals:

Good Health and Well-Being

Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
