Where can asbestos be found?
Asbestos fibers are incredibly strong and have properties that make them resistant to heat. Many products used today still contain asbestos. Most of these are materials used in heat and acoustic insulation, fire proofing, and roofing and flooring. In 1989, EPA identified the following asbestos product categories. Many of these materials may still be in use.| asbestos-cement corrugated sheet | asbestos-cement flat sheet | asbestos-cement pipe | asbestos-cement shingle |
| roof coatings | flooring felt | pipeline wrap | roofing felt |
| asbestos clothing | non-roof coatings | vinyl/asbestos floor tile | automatic transmission components |
| clutch facings | disc brake pads | drum brake linings | brake blocks |
| commercial and industrial asbestos friction products | sheet and beater-add gaskets (except specialty industrial) | commercial, corrugated and specialty paper | millboard |
| rollboard |
