Monitoring drug pollution

  • Analysing drugs for purity
  • Providing test facilities to check adulteration of street drugs

Implementation

In the Netherlands there are safe houses where people can take drugs for analysis of purity, with the police agreeing not to be involved. This enables street drugs to be tested for purity and avoids health hazards arising from adulterated drugs.
