Asbestos is a natural mineral. It is extracted from underground, typically using open-pit mining methods. It is made up of fibrous strands. These strands then are processed and mixed with an adhesive such as cement to create an asbestos-containing material, also known as ACM. These ACMs can be used in many applications including floor tiles roofing, roofs, clutch facings and shingles. Asbestos is not only used in construction materials, but also in other products like batteries, fireproof clothing, and gaskets.

Some states have specific laws regarding asbestos abatement. New York, for example prohibits the construction of asbestos-containing buildings. The law also stipulates that asbestos-related abatement must be completed by certified contractors. Construction workers working on asbestos-related structures must have permits and notify the government.

The EPA requires that anyone who plans to work in a structure that is made of asbestos-containing materials (ACM) inform the EPA at minimum 90 days prior to the start of the project. The EPA will review the project and may limit or ban the use asbestos.
Asbestos is found in floor tiles roof shingles, roofing exterior siding, cement, and automotive brakes. These products may release fibers after the ACM has been agitated or removed.
