Asbestos Survey

General Information/Summary

Regulated Material - More than 1% asbestos fiber content means that a material is Asbestos Containing Material (ACM).

 

Building Use/Historical Usage/Components Types - Asbestos was no longer manufactured for most uses in 1978. However, existing stocks of materials could continue to be used in building construction. Common ACMs are floor tile, ceiling tiles, sprayed-on insulation, transite board and siding, certain caulking and tile and boiler and pipe insulation.

 

Products Containing ACM - These include, in addition to the above, brake shoes, gaskets, some plaster, some concrete, "popcorn" ceilings, rope insulation, and a host of woven ACM and ACM friction products.
