For decades, this naturally resilient, heat-resistant mineral was used to fabricate and reinforce everything from automotive parts to roof shingles and floor tiles. Home-builders, manufacturers, and even the United States military relied on asbestos to create durable products and fire-proofed structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite asbestos\u2019s wide-ranging uses, we know today that asbestos poses an incredible hazard to human health. People who once worked with, lived around, or otherwise interacted with the mineral face an elevated risk of developing serious physical conditions, up to and including cancer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Not all asbestos has been banned in the United States.&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Asbestos materials in buildings still pose a public health problem.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the federal Environmental Protection Agency banned the sale and use of most asbestos-based products in 1989, many homes, offices, and schools remain contaminated. While remnant asbestos is not necessarily dangerous when left undisturbed, routine renovations and demolition could compromise the integrity of older asbestos materials, creating a significant environmental risk.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, the United States government and other health regulators recommend that homeowners avoid engaging with any household building materials they suspect could maintain asbestos. However, individuals seeking to sell an asbestos-affected property may have to address asbestos-related threats to ensure their own safety, comply with local law, and reduce their personal civil liability.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns background_pampas is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column p-4 mx-3 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-asbestos-abatement\">Asbestos Abatement<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<h3 class=\"mt-0 wp-block-heading\">Asbestos removal, sometimes referred to as abatement, should always be performed by an experienced and properly licensed company, and disposed of in a registered asbestos landfill.&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Businesses in some states may be required to treat asbestos as a toxin and supply any employees tasked with removing asbestos with tight-fitting face masks and other safety equipment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although most states do not prohibit individuals from removing asbestos materials by themselves, improper abatement could have unexpected and potentially disastrous consequences.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you, or a loved one, plan to perform asbestos abatement activities, you should be aware of the risks of working with asbestos-based products, as well as local laws governing the removal and disposal of asbestos-containing materials.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column p-4 mx-3 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-asbestos-in-american-homes\">Asbestos in American Homes&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<h3 class=\"mt-0 wp-block-heading\">Most buildings that were constructed before the mid-1980s were built with asbestos products and materials of some kind.&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Many still contain asbestos that can become airborne (and dangerous) from remodeling or demolition.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Environmental Protection Agency banned most asbestos-containing materials in 1989.
