Products Containing Asbestos – Information from Our Philadelphia and Pennsauken Asbestos Attorneys

Asbestos containing materials are generally classified into three categories:

• Surfacing materials, such as the acoustical material on the ceilings of many homes, schools, and other buildings
• Thermal System Insulation (TSI), such as the wrapping around boilers, pipes, and duct systems
• Other materials, such as floor tile, electrical panel insulation, and joint compound caulking

Asbestos in the home, in the workplace, or in the environment can be of great health concern. However, before you begin to remove products that you believe may contain asbestos, exercise caution. If you believe a product contains asbestos, do not tear, saw, or break it apart.
