How do you identify asbestos tiles?

• <div><p>If you can locate building records, you may be able simply to see what type of tiles (or bonding agent) was used. Any flooring made between 1950 and 1989 more than likely contains asbestos. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-tell-if-you-have-asbestos-floor-tile.htm">Asbestos tiles</a> can also be slightly thicker than other tiles and often measure 9” x 9”, 12” x 12”, and 18” x 18. Black mastic was a commonly used adhesive that contains asbestos.</p></div>

What does asbestos do to humans?

• <div><p>When asbestos fibers become airborne, they enter a person's respiratory system. These fibers scar and damage the lungs and often lead to serious cancers like mesothelioma. Like many dangers in the house, asbestos isn’t easy to see when it could be causing serious damage. The amount of time exposed, combined with the person’s tolerance for asbestos inhalation and the amount inhaled, will all contribute to health problems.</p></div>

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>
