Fentanyl Exposure in Public Places
This information is for the public who might be near smoke from fentanyl or encounter fentanyl pills, powder, or liquid in public spaces. It’s not intended for first responders such as police, firefighters, and emergency medical services. Employers should also review guidance from Washington Labor & Industries before attempting to clean a space where there is evidence of fentanyl. There is separate guidance for employees who may come into contact with fentanyl in their workplace.

Fentanyl Overdose Risk
Fentanyl is an opioid medicine that has medical uses for pain control in both humans and animals. Fentanyl is also produced and sold illegally. If misused, fentanyl can cause a person’s breathing to slow and stop; this is often called an “overdose.” If breathing stops, a person can die. However, it is unlikely you will overdose just from being around or helping someone who has smoked or used fentanyl. There is no evidence of first responders experiencing an overdose from secondhand fentanyl exposure.
