Government regulations today have made asbestos products sparse and require labeling. Asbestos containing products manufactured before 1970 may need some detective work to identify. Before the 1970s products produced for home construction were the main products that contained asbestos. Some products to be wary of include:
- Steam Pipes, Boilers, and Furnace Ducts
- Resilient Floor Tiles
- Vinyl Sheet Flooring
- Floor Adhesives
- Cement Sheet, Millboard, and Paper
- Door Gaskets
- Soundproofing or Decorative Material
- Patching and Joint Compounds
- Textured Paint
- Asbestos Cement Roofing, Shingles, Siding
- Artificial Ashes and Embers
- Fireproof Gloves, Stove-Top Pads
- Ironing Board Covers, Hairdryers
- Automobile Brake Pads and Linings
- Clutch Facings and Gaskets
