What is asbestos?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral fibre. There are several types of asbestos fibres and they are normally identified in materials by means of specific sampling and laboratory testing. In the past asbestos was added to a variety of products to strengthen them and to provide heat insulation and chemical resistance.

Where can I find asbestos and when can it be a problem?

The importation and sale of materials containing asbestos was finally banned in 1999. However asbestos was widely used as building and insulation material until the mid 1980's and many types of building products and insulation materials used in homes contained asbestos. Common products that might contain asbestos which may enable the material to release fibres, include:

Pipes, boilers, and heating systems: Insulated with an asbestos blanket, asbestos paper or asbestos insulation products. These materials may release asbestos fibres if damaged, repaired, or removed improperly.

Soundproofing or Coating material sprayed on walls and ceilings. Loose, crumbly, or water-damaged material may release fibres. So will sanding, drilling, or scraping the material.

Insulating Board Materials. Used to form wall panels, ceiling tiles, firebreaks etc. Loose, crumbly, or water-damaged material may release fibres. So will sanding, drilling, or scraping the material.

Cement sheet, millboard and paper used as insulation around heating systems and as wall panels. Repairing or removing appliances may release asbestos fibres. So may cutting, tearing, sanding, drilling or sawing insulation.

Thermoplastic floor tiles (vinyl asbestos, asphalt, and rubber), the backing on vinyl sheet flooring, and adhesives used for installing floor tiles. Sanding tiles can release fibres. So may scraping or sanding the backing of sheet flooring during removal.

Door gaskets in heating systems, wood stoves, and coal stoves. Worn seals can release asbestos fibres during use.

Asbestos cement roofing. These products are not likely to release asbestos fibres unless sawed, drilled, or cut.

Textured paints (ARTEX), patching and joint compounds for walls and ceilings. Sanding, scraping, or drilling these surfaces may release asbestos.

Other older household products such as fireproof gloves, stove-top pads, ironing board covers, and certain hairdryers, automobile brake pads and linings, clutch facings, and gaskets.
