IS ASBESTOS STILL A CONCERN?

In 2006, 2.3 million tons of asbestos were mined worldwide. Asbestos is still being used for the manufacture of products and materials which are then shipped into the United States.

Just a few typical products that asbestos can be found in include:

Vinyl floor tile, sheet flooring, and adhesives
Drywall and joint compound
Roofing tars, felts, siding, and shingles
Transite panels, siding, counter tops, and pipes
Popcorn ceiling, acoustic ceilings, and ceiling tiles
Thermal pipe insulation
HVAC flexible duct connectors

If asbestos-containing material is in good condition, intact, and will not be disturbed, it is best to leave it alone. Generally, material in good condition will not release asbestos fibers. Check the area of concern regularly for signs of wear or damage such as tears, abrasions, or water damage. When asbestos-containing material becomes damaged or will be disturbed, it should be professionally removed by a licensed asbestos contractor.
