What are some indicators of a clandestine meth lab that an investigator could detect from the outside of a building?

What will be an ideal response?


Drug labs can be set up almost anywhere. Clandestine or "clan" labs tend to share some common characteristics. From the outside of a structure, investigators may observe blacked out or boarded up windows, hoses sticking out through windows and doors, dead vegetation from dumped chemical wastes and strong chemical odors, all of which may indicate a clan lab is operating inside.
