What fentanyl decontamination covers:
For cars and small rooms, the crew opens the space gently, avoiding fans and sudden movement.
Seats, carpet, mats and bedding that hold residue may be removed and sealed.
Wipes, cloths and protective layers are swapped out so residue is not carried from room to room.

Risk depends on the amount and the form. Breathing powder or getting it in the mouth or eyes is the main concern, and brief skin contact is generally less risky. Still, avoid touching it. If it happens, wash with soap and water and call Poison Control.
