What is asbestos?
“Asbestos” is the name given to a group of minerals that occur naturally as bundles of fibers that can be separated into thin threads. These fibers are not affected by heat or chemicals and do not conduct electricity. For these reasons, asbestos has been widely used in many industries. Four types of asbestos have been used commercially:
- Chrysotile, or white asbestos
- Crocidolite, or blue asbestos
- Amosite, which usually has brown fibers
- Anthophyllite, which usually has gray fibers
- Chrysotile asbestos, with its curly fibers, is in the serpentine family of minerals. The other types of asbestos, which all have rod-like fibers, are known as amphiboles. Asbestos fiber masses tend to break easily into dust composed of tiny particles that can float in the air and stick to clothes. The fibers may be easily inhaled or swallowed and can cause serious health problems.
How can asbestos be identified?
While it is often possible to “suspect” that a material or product is/or contains asbestos by visual determination, actual determinations can only be made by instrumental analysis. Until a product is tested, it is best to assume that the product contains asbestos, unless the label or the manufacturer verifies that it does not.
The EPA requires that the asbestos content of suspect materials be determined by collecting bulk samples and analyzing them by polarized light microscopy (PLM). The PLM technique determines both the percent and type of asbestos in the bulk material. EPA Regional Offices can provide information about laboratories that test for asbestos.
Who regulates asbestos?
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) are responsible for regulating environmental exposure and protecting workers from asbestos exposure. OSHA is responsible for the health and safety of workers who may be exposed to asbestos in the workplace, or in connection with their jobs. EPA is responsible for developing and enforcing regulations necessary to protect the general public from exposure to airborne contaminants that are known to be hazardous to human health.

Is there anything I should know about asbestos before I begin any demo project?
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) requires that you perform a survey to determine the presence of asbestos in your building before doing a renovation or demolition. You must also notify before you start such a project. In Washington you must notify the Washington Department of State Health Services. Washington also has rules that pertain to public buildings that require similar notification as the NESHAP and further requirements such as licensed persons to perform the survey and to remove the asbestos.
Asbestos Abatement for Residential Buildings
We ensure the health and safety of your home with our abatement services.
Asbestos in residential properties poses a significant health risk to all occupants. Similar to commercial settings, older homes frequently contain asbestos in various forms, such as roof shingles, floor tiles, and window glazing. Disturbing asbestos during remodeling or demolition activities releases hazardous asbestos dust and fibers, which, when inhaled, can lead to severe respiratory and cancer-related conditions.
At Puget Sound Abatement, we offer expert services to keep homeowners protected, including:
Asbestos inspections in residential properties
