From our home inspection:“Insulation remnants on the distribution piping is similar in appearance to materials known to contain asbestos....laboratory analysis is necessary to confirm.If the insulation contains asbestos, odds are it was removed improperly by amateurs and is likely to be in the air”How long does asbestos stay airborne? If they ripped that insulation off back in the 90s, for instance, would it still be a real contamination threat? We are planning to check the air quality.TLDR: if amateurs removed asbestos insulation from pipes years ago are we screwed?? via /r/DIY http://ift.tt/2E51KEe
