Meth Lab Identification
Is there a way to test for whether or not a home has been used as a meth lab? If there aren't any obvious signs, could there still be leftover toxic chemicals if meth was manufactured in a home? If I am buying a home, I would like to be sure that meth was not manufactured there. Is there a way to do that?

Is there Lead in my home.
Recently I saw an episode on HGTV that involved a home with lead in the kitchen tile. The person that tested the tile had an electronic lead tester. Your site about lead in the home recommends buying lead testing kits from Home Depot, Lowes, etc.. . I have tile in my bathroom that looks like the tile in the home on the TV program. What should I do. We are renovating a 1913 home here in Pueblo. I am concerned about the possibility of lead. What do you recommend I do.

transportation
Thee is a GREAT need in the community for transportation, especially in the outlying zones. medical opt.s are covered by medicaid for the ones associated with this program. But going to the groc. store or picking up necessities .food banks or any other services are totally off limits to a great many citisens, that could be contributing to our community even volunteering. I personally have exhausted every outlet to find some type of community transport but have come up nonplused. There is a program in elkins wva that offers its citisenz transport to all services including clothing outlets and banks groc. stores/bank and etc. even just a picnic run. This is all funded thru the medicaid program of that county. I personally do not have the resources to examine and/or impliment this type of service for floyd and willis communities, but perhaps you do and can. It would be great for some ,simply to be able to get out to church again. as a social network can be an integral part of a mental health status for an individual. I see this as our main need in mental health , physical and family stability in this region. thank you fawn farly 2762666989 please let me know of any impending services such as this or if this will be looked into. thank you

Identifing Mold and Fungi in a Home
Hello. Can you tell me if there is an office in either Logan or Bountiful that can identify a fungal growth that is occurring in the basment floor of my residence. It appears to be a mushroom of some type that is growing out of the seam between the baseboard and the carpet. I have attached a photo, but am able to bring a sample if you can give me a location.Thanks for you help.
