Caution – Asbestos!
Asbestos is mineral fiber used in over 3000 products. These products can be characterized as either friable or non-friable. A friable asbestos-containing material is one that can be crumbled into a powder by hand pressure. An example of this is pipe insulation. A non-friable asbestos-containing material (ACM) cannot be crumbled into a powder by hand pressure. An example of this is exterior siding and floor covering.
Many older homes built before the mid-1970’s do contain some type of asbestos-containing materials. (ACM) If you think that the home may contain some ACM or the home is set for remodeling or demolition, DPH recommends having the home inspected by the CT licensed ACM inspector to identify all areas.
The handling and disturbance of ACM is subject to various State and Federal regulations, which describe criteria for licensure, abatement methodology, procedure, and air clearance to determine whether the area is fit for re-occupancy.
The best response for ACM that is in good condition is to
LEAVE IT ALONE!
