Frequently Asked Asbestos Questions

Where can I find Asbestos and is it a problem?

Most modern products do not contain asbestos. Any products that contain asbestos must be properly labeled. Unfortunately, until the 1970s, several insulation materials and building products contained asbestos and could release fibers into the air. Some of these common products included:

• Door gaskets in wood stoves, coal stoves and furnaces
• Steam pipes, boilers, and furnace ducts
• Millboard, paper and cement sheets in woodburning stoves and furnaces
• Soundproofing or decorative material
•  Patching and joint compounds for ceilings and walls
• Textured paints
• Asbestos shingles, siding and cement roofing
• Resilient floor tiles, adhesives used for installing floor tile, and the backing on vinyl sheet flooring
• Car brake pads and linings and clutch facings
• Asbestos ashes used in gas fireplaces
• Fireproof gloves, ironing board covers, stove-top pads and hairdryers
