Asbestos Hazards and Disposal

Asbestos disposal is a necessary process when working with materials that contain asbestos. Failure to properly dispose of these materials is a danger to people's health and to the environment. It is important to understand the difference between hazardous and non-hazardous asbestos materials, and how they are disposed of.

Hazardous Asbestos Materials

Hazardous asbestos materials are those that are friable, meaning they can easily release fibers into the air when disturbed. These materials include:

• Thermal insulation
• Fireproofing materials
• Sprayed-on materials
• Pipe insulation
• Decorative plaster
• Ceiling tiles
• Floor tiles and adhesive
• Roofing materials
• Siding and shingles
• Textured paint and patching compounds

These materials must be handled carefully and disposed of in a designated landfill.

Non-Hazardous Asbestos Materials

Non-hazardous asbestos materials include those that are non-friable, meaning they're unlikely to release fibers when disturbed. These materials include:

• Vinyl flooring
• Cement pipes and siding
• Gaskets and seals
• Electronics
• Paint
• Coatings

Non-hazardous asbestos materials can be disposed of as general waste.
