Where Can You
Find Asbestos?
Because of its fiber strength and heat resistance asbestos
has been used in a variety of building construction
materials for insulation and as a fire retardant.
Asbestos has also been used in a wide range of
manufactured goods, mostly in building materials
(roofing shingles, ceiling and floor tiles, paper
products, and asbestos cement products), friction
products (automobile clutch, brake, and transmission
parts), heat-resistant fabrics, packaging, gaskets, and
coatings.
Most uses of asbestos are not banned. A few are banned
under existing regulations.
Where asbestos may be found:
Attic and wall insulation produced containing
vermiculite
Vinyl floor tiles and the backing on vinyl sheet flooring and adhesives
Roofing and siding shingles
Textured paint and patching compounds used on wall and ceilings
Walls and floors around wood-burning stoves protected with asbestos
paper, millboard, or cement sheets
Hot water and steam pipes coated with asbestos material or covered with
an asbestos blanket or tape
Oil and coal furnaces and door gaskets with asbestos insulation
Heat-resistant fabrics
Automobile clutches and brakes
