These strands then are processed and mixed with a binding agent, such as cement to form an asbestos containing material or ACM. These ACMs can be employed in a variety of ways for floor tiles, including, roofing, clutch facings and shingles. Apart from its use in construction materials, asbestos can be found in a number of other products, such as batteries gaskets, fireproof clothing, and gaskets.

When the work is complete after which a certified inspector has to check the area and ensure that no asbestos fibers have escaped into the air. The inspector must also confirm that the sealant is "locking down" any asbestos. A sample of the air should be taken following the inspection and, if the sample shows more asbestos than is required, the area needs to be cleaned.
The transportation and disposal of asbestos is regulated by the state of New Jersey and is monitored by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). Before commencing work, any company that plans to dispose of asbestos-containing waste has to get a permit from New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection.

Abatement

Anyone who plans to work in a place which contains asbestos-containing materials has to inform the EPA 90 days prior to the start of their work. The EPA will then review the project and may limit or ban the use of asbestos.
Asbestos is present in floor tiles, roofing shingles exterior siding, cement, and automobile brakes. These products may release fibers into the air when the ACM is agitated or removed. The risk of inhalation comes because the fibers are too small to be seen by the naked eye. ACM that is not friable, like encapsulated floor coverings and drywall, is not able to release fibers.
A licensed contractor wishing to conduct abatement on a structure must be granted a permit by the Iowa Division of Labor.
