    Hopes new meth-contamination statistics will quell concerns

    Hopes new meth-contamination statistics will quell concerns


    Meth-testing company Safe and Healthy Home Solutions says it picked up detectable residue in about half of properties it tested between 2023 and 2025.

    Safe and Healthy Homes Solutions Director Miles Stratford says most have a very low level of contamination - which won't have much impact on wellbeing.

    He says the most contamination is in places where meth was manufactured.
