Fentanyl Decontamination Frequently Asked Questions in Stevens, Seattle, WA

What should I do if someone may have been exposed?

Call 911 if the person cannot be woken, is breathing slowly or is very drowsy. For other questions, call Poison Control. Get away from the area and wash skin with soap and water. Tell responders what you found and where, so they can act safely.

What does fentanyl residue look like?

It can be a fine powder, a faint film or nothing visible at all. Because it is hard to recognize, treat any unknown powder as hazardous. Do not touch or smell it. Leave the area and call 911 or Poison Control.

Will cleanup remove the smell?

Fentanyl itself usually has little smell, but drug use can leave other odors in fabric and walls. Once contaminated materials are out, a team can treat odor. Ask what methods the team uses and whether that is part of the plan.

Can residue be on clothing or belongings?

It can. Clothing, bedding, bags and furniture in an affected space may carry powder. Do not shake them out. A team can advise on what to bag, clean or discard.

What if I find powder at work or in a public place?

Do not touch it, and keep others away. Tell a supervisor or the property manager and call 911 if anyone is ill. A cleanup team can clean the area afterward. Employers should also follow their own safety procedures.

Can I clean fentanyl residue myself?

It is not recommended. Sweeping, wiping and vacuuming can lift fine powder into the air. Leave the area, keep people and pets out, and call 911 in an emergency or Poison Control with questions. Then ask a cleanup team about decontamination.
