Understanding Property Contamination
The science, methodology, and context behind methamphetamine contamination testing — explained plainly, informed by the research behind Buried Truth.
This resource draws on scientific methodology, New Zealand Standard NZS 8510:2017, and the research and field observations documented in Buried Truth. It is an educational resource — not professional advice, legal guidance, or a substitute for a professional assessment.
Questions to Ask Before You Test
- Does the testing company also provide remediation services?
- What sampling methodology will be used, and how many samples will be taken?
- How are sample locations selected — and why?
- What laboratory will analyse the samples, and under what standard?
- How will the result be interpreted — and what happens at different result levels?
- Is the testing report independently verifiable?
