What are possible sources of Asbestos in my home?
Asbestos is a mineral fiber that has been used in many building materials as a fire retardant and insulator. The most common places to find asbestos is in older homes where it was used in pipe and furnace insulation, shingles, coating materials, and floor tiles. When these materials are damaged or get too old, the material may break down and some of the asbestos may be released into the air. This can present a problem, especially if it is inside of your dwelling.
