Got Asbestos?

12/1/2021 (Permalink)

Asbestos was used frequently in homes between the 1940s and 1970s. It is in insulation materials, floor tiles and other applications that require heat and chemical resistance materials. Asbestos is a highly hazardous material and poses great health risk for those exposed to the substance. Although harmful asbestos materials are no longer used, exposures may still exist in older buildings and structures slated for demolition or renovation.

The Environmental Protection Agency has rules governing asbestos-containing material. Adequate training and certification for asbestos workers, including inspectors, are part of these requirements.
