On a national level? No.
California Section 2540016(a) Health & Safety Code
25400.16. (a) Except as provided in subdivision (c), property
contaminated by methamphetamine laboratory activity is safe for human occupancy for purposes of this chapter only if the level of methamphetamine on any indoor surface is less than, or equal to, 0.1 micrograms per 100 square centimeters.
(b) Except as provided in subdivision (c), if property is
contaminated by methamphetamine laboratory activity that included the use of lead or mercury compounds, in addition to the requirements of subdivision (a), property is safe for human occupancy for purposes of this chapter only if both of the following standards are met with regard to that property:
(1) The total level of lead is less than, or equal to, 20
micrograms per square foot.
(2) The level of mercury is less than, or equal to, 50 nanograms per cubic meter in air.
(c) Subdivisions (a) and (b) shall become inoperative on the effective date that the department, in consultation with the office, adopts a health-based target remediation standard for methamphetamine to determine when a property contaminated by methamphetamine laboratory activity only is safe for human occupancy, in which case any reference in this chapter to a human-occupancy standard specified in this section shall mean only the health-based target remediation standard for methamphetamine adopted by the department.
(d) The department shall conduct two public workshops, one in northern California and one in southern California, for the purpose of discussing with affected stakeholders the actions needed to further implement the goals of this chapter. The department may include, as topics for discussion, possible funding sources for local governments for the purposes of implementing this chapter, whether this chapter should be revised to address the contamination of
properties by the illegal manufacturing of other controlled
substances, and the results of the Illegal Drug Lab Risk Reduction Project conducted by the California Environmental Protection Agency pursuant to its adopted environmental justice action plan.
CDEX 3-28-08 PR:
"the CDEX Meth Scanner identified methamphetamine at 1.0 micrograms/100 cm2 (10 nanograms/cm2), below the proposed California health-based methamphetamine remediation standard of 1.5 micrograms/100cm2 "
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In case you missed it, paige...The Calif. standard is 10x lower than what CDEX claims it can detect.
