Do I have to worry about a new popcorn ceiling having asbestos?

• <div><p>No, you do not have to worry about new popcorn ceilings having asbestos. All residential building materials used since the mid-1980s stopped including asbestos, so new popcorn ceilings have no risk of asbestos. You can still <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-texture-drywall.htm">create a textured drywall ceiling</a> with a popcorn texture if you like, but new techniques have no risk of adding asbestos. </p></div>

What year did they stop putting asbestos in linoleum?

• <div><p>Most manufacturers stopped putting asbestos in linoleum before 1980 due to public concerns about its toxicity. However, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) didn’t ban asbestos-containing products until 1989, and a comprehensive ban was not announced until 2024. This means that homes built after 1989 may still have asbestos in their flooring.</p></div>
