Cops who busted Meth labs — long-term health effects
Cops who busted Meth labs — long-term health effects – Law enforcement officers from Utah who investigated Meth labs in the 1980s and 1990s discuss some of the symptoms and health problems they deal with today. During that time officers rarely suited up in chemical protection suits and breathing tanks, as they do today. As a result, many of the officers have experienced esophageal problems, autoimmune disease, heart attacks, strokes, gall bladder problems, and other rare disorders. In at least one case, one of the former officers has died of causes they believe to be related to their frequent exposure to the chemicals involved in Meth labs. In another clip from this documentary, “Cops who busted Meth labs — short-term health effects,” these officers recall the immediate effects that they remember from their days working narcotics and entering multiple Meth labs. You can find this other clip in my channel’s uploads.
