What Is Asbestos?

To determine whether the acoustic texture (or floor tile, or siding, etc.) contains asbestos, place a small sample (about the size of a nickel) in a plastic zip lock bag and mail to an NVLAP certified laboratory. The cost for such testing in nominal (about $20), but three separate samples are generally recommended. For the name of a certified lab in your state, check your Yellow Pages or contact the EPA. You may also contact the EPA or local Yellow Pages for the names of licensed contractors.
