Do all popcorn ceilings have asbestos?

• <div><p>No, not all popcorn ceilings have asbestos, but a vast majority do. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) banned its use in 1973, although it still may have been used up through the early ‘90s. But, in general, homes built or remodeled before the early ‘80s likely utilized materials with asbestos. That being said, a professional test is the only way to determine for sure.</p></div>

Do I need to be worried about asbestos?

• <div><p>If your home was built before 1989 and still has original vinyl, there’s a high probability of asbestos mixed into the old flooring, which can harm you and your family if it’s disturbed from removal. If you suspect that you have asbestos, you’ll want to call in <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/asbestos-abatement/">an asbestos removal expert</a> to evaluate the situation. </p></div>

Q: Can you cover asbestos tile with carpet?

• <div><p>While it's possible to cover asbestos tile with carpet, it's not recommended. Encapsulating tile beneath carpet doesn't eliminate the health risks. Over time, the asbestos tiles could degrade, releasing fibers into the air and potentially contaminating the carpet. Disturbance during carpet installation or removal might also release fibers.</p></div>

Q: Does an N95 mask protect against asbestos?

• <div><p>No, an N95 mask will not protect against asbestos and many other hazardous materials, such as carbon monoxide, gas, chemical vapors, and other gases. You will need a respirator specifically designed to protect against asbestos. However, if you suspect asbestos is present in your home, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hire-pro-asbestos-testing-and-removal.htm">hire an asbestos abatement professional</a> immediately and avoid the area until they arrive for the inspection.</p></div>

Q: What pollutants are commonly tested for?

• <div><p>Mold, VOCs, radon, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter are typically measured.</p></div>
