| Fentanyl is a highly potent synthetic opioid; approximately 100 times stronger than morphine.23 Pharmaceutical fentanyl was first developed as pain management treatment for cancer patients and is generally obtained for abuse by theft or prescription fraud. However, the most recent cases of fentanyl-related harm, overdose and death in the United States are linked to illegally manufactured fentanyl or clandestine fentanyl. It is a major contributor to fatal and nonfatal overdoses in the U.S.
Fentanyl and other synthetic opioids are the most common drugs involved in overdose deaths. Even in small doses, it can be deadly. Over 150 people die every day from overdoses related to synthetic opioids like fentanyl. Drugs may contain deadly levels of fentanyl, and you wouldn’t be able to see it, taste it, or smell it. It is nearly impossible to tell if drugs have been laced with fentanyl. If you suspect the presence of Fentanyl in your home, leave immediately, it is important to hire trained professionals to evaluate and cleanup the contaminated property. Conduct thorough research before renting or buying a new home and do not jump to conclusions based on appearance alone. Fentanyl can cause death should be taken seriously, and precautions should be taken to preserve the health of yourself and others. To a great extent, solubility of opioids are pH dependent with most analogs having favorable pHs in the 5-7 range. Fentanyl powders are slightly soluble in water, with an aqueous solubility of 0.2g/L Small amounts of fentanyl are extremely dangerous; the lethal dose of fentanyl is generally accepted to be 2 milligrams (mg),30 see the Figures below. The lowest limit of detection currently available for fentanyl by laboratory analysis is 1 nanogram (ng) |
