While various illegal street drugs have seen a drastic rise in the past 5 years, one illicitly manufactured opioid, in particular, has caused greater alarm for law enforcement officials than any other - fentanyl.
50 times more potent than heroin and 100 times more potent than morphine, fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is pushing drug-related death rates and overdoses to alarming new highs.
With this sad statistic also comes a potential risk to law enforcement professionals and lab technicians that must handle this toxic substance. Fentanyl poses fatal risk if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin, so extreme caution must be taken to properly handle this deadly powder.
Air Science takes seriously the safety of lab personnel across all applications. Which is why we developed our newest unit, the Purair SafeSEARCH, for use in the analysis, handling and storage of fentanyl within the law enforcement industry.
