Results from the Testing of Adulterated Anhydrous Ammonia Provided by the State of Iowa's Office of Drug Control Policy, March 15, 2004

The report of adulterated anhydrous ammonia did not completely prevent the manufacture of methamphetamine. The amount of the methamphetamine manufactured using the adulterated ammonia was consistently very low. Although clandestine laboratory "field-like" reaction conditions were mimicked for purposes of these tests it should be noted that no attempts were made to distill the adulterated anhydrous ammonia.
