How do I prepare for asbestos testing?

• <div><p>Clear the area for access and inform the testing team about the building’s history and renovations.</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>

Can I clean an asbestos popcorn ceiling?

• <div><p>If you know your popcorn ceiling has asbestos, you should not attempt to clean it. It simply is not possible to learn <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-asbestos.htm">how to clean asbestos</a> safely without potentially releasing microscopic fibers into the air that could lead to severe illness in the future. Avoid disturbing or cleaning the ceiling until the asbestos removal company can get rid of the popcorn ceiling.</p></div>

Q: Can asbestos be absorbed through the skin?

• <div><p>While asbestos can&rsquo;t be directly absorbed through the skin&mdash;the fibers are too big&mdash;skin contact can still produce symptoms. Contact dermatitis can flare up in sensitive individuals but in most cases, the danger from asbestos comes from inhaling the fibers, or dust, that is produced when asbestos is disturbed. If you touch asbestos by accident, immediately wash yourself and your clothes.</p></div>

Q: What products still contain asbestos?

• <div><p>There are products that still contain asbestos, but they were typically installed decades ago. Common places where you may still find asbestos-containing materials are in siding, wrapped around ductwork, in older appliances (i.e., stove and gravity furnaces), and in floors. Asbestos was primarily used as an insulator, so anywhere in an older home where you lose heat is where you will most likely find asbestos.</p></div>
