The EPA will examine the project and may decide to limit or ban the use of asbestos.
Asbestos can be found in roofing and floor tiles shingles as well as cement for exterior siding, brakes for cars. These products can release fibers if the ACM is disturbed or removed. The risk of inhalation is because the fibers are too small to be seen by the naked eye. Non-friable ACM like encapsulated flooring and drywall are unable to release fibers.

The majority of these claims were filed by people who suffered respiratory problems as a result of asbestos exposure. Many of these ailments have now been diagnosed as mesothelioma and various cancers. The cases have prompted several states to adopt laws designed to limit the amount of asbestos lawsuits brought in their courts.
