Fine powder can rise into the air when it is swept, wiped dry or vacuumed with an ordinary vacuum. Cleanup teams use wet methods and controlled equipment so particles stay down. Agencies such as the CDC advise against disturbing powder.
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.
Some teams offer sampling and some do not. Rules for testing and clearance vary by place. Ask the team what it checks, and ask the local health department what applies where you live.

A small room or vehicle can take a day or less, while a house or a space with a lot of soft material takes longer. Containment, cleaning and disposal each take time. A team can give a realistic idea once it hears the details.
It depends on the size of the space, how far residue has spread, the materials involved and the gear needed. A cleanup team can give a real price after seeing or hearing about the site, and it should explain what is included before work starts.
Ask about discreet arrival in an unmarked vehicle if privacy matters.
