You will need a respirator specifically designed to protect against asbestos. However, if you suspect asbestos is present in your home, hire an asbestos abatement professional immediately and avoid the area until they arrive for the inspection.

You may also find asbestos in textured paint and patching compounds.

DIY kits are available, but professional testing ensures accurate results and compliance with regulations.
