What is
asbestos?
Asbestos is a mineral. It is mined in much
the same way that other minerals, such as
iron, lead, and copper, are. Asbestos is com-
posed of silicon, oxygen, hydrogen, and
various metal cations (positively charged
metal ions).
There are many varieties of asbestos: the
three most common are chrysotile, amosite,
and crocidolite. Chrysotile fibers are pliable
and cylindrical, and often arranged in
bundles. Amosite and crocidolite fibers are
like tiny needles.
The first commercial asbestos mine - a
chrysotile mine - opened in Quebec,
Canada, in the 1870's. Crocidolite asbestos
was first mined in South Africa during the
1980's. Amosite asbestos also comes from
Africa and was first mined in 1916.
Unlike most minerals, which turn into dust
particles when crushed, asbestos breaks up
into fine fibers that are too small to be seen
by the human eye. Often individual fibers
are mixed with a material that binds them
together, producing asbestos containing
material (ACM).
Why has
asbestos been
so widely
used?
Asbestos appealed to manufacturers and
builders for a variety of reasons. It is strong
yet flexible, and it will not burn. It
conducts electricity poorly, but insulates
effectively. It also resists corrosion.
Asbestos may have been so widely used
because few other available substances
combine the same qualities.
-------
How many
products
contain
asbestos?
How long has
asbestos been
in use?
One study estimated that 3,000 different
types of commercial products contained
asbestos. The amount of asbestos in each
product varied from as little as one percent
to as much as 100 percent. Many older
plastics, paper products, brake linings, floor
tiles and textile products contain asbestos, as
do many heavy industrial products such as
sealants, cement pipe, cement sheets, and
insulation.
The final Asbestos Ban and Phaseout Rule
prohibits the manufacture, processing and
importation of most asbestos products.
Asbestos was first used in the United States
in the early 1900's, to insulate steam
engines. But until the early 1940's, asbestos
was not used extensively. However, after
World War II, and for the next thirty years,
people who constructed and renovated
schools and other public buildings used
asbestos and asbestos -containing materials
(ACM) extensively. They used ACM pri-
marily to fireproof, insulate, soundproof,
and decorate. The Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that there
are asbestos containing materials in most of
the nation's approximately 107,000 primary
and secondary schools and 733,000 public
and commercial buildings.
How are people
exposed to
asbestos?
When asbestos fibers are in the air, people
may inhale them. Because asbestos fibers
are small and light, they can stay in the air
for a long time.
-------
People whose work brings them into contact
with asbestos - workers who renovate
buildings with asbestos in them, for
example - may inhale fibers that are in the
air: this is called occupational exposure.
Workers' families may inhale asbestos fibers
released by clothes that have been in contact
with ACM: this is called paraoccupational
exposure. People who live or work near
asbestos- related operations may inhale
asbestos fibers that have been released into
the air by the operations: this is called
neighborhood exposure.
The amount of asbestos a worker is exposed
to will vary according to
• The concentration of fibers
in the air
• Duration of exposure
• The worker's breathing rate (workers
doing manual labor breathe faster)
• Weather conditions
• The protective devices the worker wears
It is estimated that between 1940 and 1980,
27 million Americans had significant
occupational exposure to asbestos.
People may also ingest asbestos if they eat
in areas where there are asbestos fibers in
the air.
-------
When is ACM
most likely to
release
asbestos
fibers?
Damaged ACM is more likely to release
fibers than non-damaged ACM. In a 1984
survey, EPA found that approximately 66
percent of those buildings that contained
asbestos contained damaged ACM.
If ACM, when dry, can be crumbled by hand
pressure - a condition known as "friable" - it
is more likely to release fibers than if it is
"non-friable." Fluffy, spray-applied asbestos
fireproofing material is generally considered
"friable." Some materials which are con-
sidered "non-friable," such as vinyl-asbestos
floor tile, can also release fibers when
sanded, sawed or otherwise aggressively dis-
turbed. Materials such as asbestos cement
pipe can release asbestos fibers if broken or
crushed when buildings are demolished,
renovated or repaired.
ACM which is in a heavy traffic area, and
which is therefore often disturbed, is more
likely to release fibers than ACM in a
relatively undisturbed area.
How can
asbestos be
identified?
While it is often possible to "suspect" that a
material or product is/or contains asbestos
by visual determination, actual
determinations can only be made by
instrumental analysis. Until a product is
tested, it is best to assume that the product
contains asbestos, unless the label, or the
manufacturer verifies that it does not.
-------
Does asbestos
exposure cause
health
problems?
The EPA requires that the asbestos content
of suspect materials be determined by
collecting bulk samples and analyzing them
by polarized light microscopy (PLM). The
PLM technique determines both the percent
and type of asbestos in the bulk material.
EPA Regional Offices can provide
information about laboratories that test for
asbestos.
Some people exposed to asbestos develop
asbestos-related health problems; some do
not. Once inhaled, asbestos fibers can easily
penetrate body tissues. They may be
deposited and retained in the airways and
lung tissue. Because asbestos fibers remain
in the body, each exposure increases the
likelihood of developing an asbestos-related
disease. Asbestos related diseases may not
appear until years after exposure. Today we
are seeing results of exposure among
asbestos workers during World War II. A
medical examination which includes a
medical history, breathing capacity test and
chest x-ray may detect problems early.
Scientists have not been able to develop a
"safe" or threshold level for exposure to
airborne asbestos. Ingesting asbestos may
be harmful, but the consequences of this
type of exposure have not been clearly
documented. Nor have the effects of skin
exposure to asbestos been documented.
People who touch asbestos may get a rash
similar to the rash caused by fiberglass.
-------
What illnesses
are associated
with asbestos
exposure?
Asbestosis
Asbestosis is a serious, chronic, non-
cancerous respiratory disease. Inhaled
asbestos fibers aggravate lung tissues, which
causes them to scar. Symptoms of asbestosis
include shortness of breath and a dry
crackling sound in the lungs while inhaling.
In its advanced stages, the disease may
cause cardiac failure. There is no effective
treatment for asbestosis; the disease is
usually disabling or fatal. The risk of
asbestosis is minimal for those who do not
work with asbestos; the disease is rarely
caused by neighborhood or family exposure.
Those who renovate or demolish buildings
that contain asbestos may be at significant
risk, depending on the nature of the
exposure and precautions taken.
Lung Cancer
Lung cancer causes the largest number of
deaths related to asbestos exposure. The
incidence of lung cancer in people who are
directly involved in the mining, milling,
manufacturing and use of asbestos and its
products is much higher than in the general
population. The most common symptoms
of lung cancer are coughing and a change in
breathing. Other symptoms include
shortness of breath, persistent chest pains,
hoarseness, and anemia.
People who have been exposed to asbestos
and are also exposed to some other
carcinogen - such as cigarette smoke - have
-------
a significantly greater risk of developing
lung cancer than people who have only
been exposed to asbestos. One study found
that asbestos workers who smoke are about
90 times more likely to develop lung cancer
than people who neither smoke nor have
been exposed to asbestos.
Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer
which most often occurs in the thin
membrane lining of the lungs, chest,
abdomen, and (rarely) heart. About 200
cases are diagnosed each year in the United
States. Virtually all cases of mesothelioma
are linked with asbestos exposure. Approxi-
mately 2 percent of all miners and textile
workers who work with asbestos, and 10 -
percent of all workers who were involved in
the manufacture of asbestos-containing gas
masks, contract mesothelioma.
People who work in asbestos mines,
asbestos mills and factories, and shipyards
that use asbestos, as well as people who
manufacture and install asbestos insulation,
have an increased risk of mesothelioma. So
do people who live with asbestos workers,
near asbestos mining areas, near asbestos
product factories or near shipyards where
use of asbestos has produced large
quantities of airborne asbestos fibers.
-------
The younger people are when they inhale
asbestos, the more likely they are to develop
mesothelioma. This is why enormous
efforts are being made to prevent school
children from being exposed.
Other Cancers
Evidence suggests that cancers in the
esophagus, larynx, oral cavity, stomach,
colon and kidney may be caused by
ingesting asbestos. For more information
on asbestos-related cancers, contact your
local chapter of the American Cancer
Society.
Who regulates The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
asbestos? anc^ me Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) are responsible for
regulating environmental exposure and
protecting workers from asbestos exposure.
OSHA is responsible for the health and
safety of workers who may be exposed to
asbestos in the workplace, or in connection
with their jobs. EPA is responsible for
developing and enforcing regulations
necessary to protect the general public from
exposure to airborne contaminants that are
known to be hazardous to human health.
The EPA's Worker Protection Rule (40 CFR
Part 763, Subpart G) extends the OSHA
standards to state and local employees who
perform asbestos work and who are not
covered by the OSHA Asbestos Standards, or
-------
What Is EPA's
position about
asbestos In
buildings and
what to do
about It?
by a state OSHA plan. The Rule parallels
OSHA requirements and covers medical
examinations, air monitoring and reporting,
protective equipment, work practices, and
recordkeeping.
In addition, many State and local agencies
have more stringent standards than those
required by the Federal government. People
who plan to renovate or remove asbestos
from a building of a certain size, or who
plan to demolish any building, are required
to notify the appropriate federal, state and
local agencies, and to follow all federal,
state, and local requirements for removal
and disposal of regulated asbestos-
containing material (RACM).
EPA's advice on asbestos is neither to rip it
all out in a panic nor to ignore the problem
under a false presumption that asbestos is
"risk free." Rather, EPA recommends a
practical approach that protects public
health by emphasizing that asbestos
material in buildings should be located, that
it should be appropriately managed, and
that those workers who may disturb it
should be properly trained and protected.
That has been, and continues to be, EPA's
position. The following summarizes the five
major facts that the Agency has presented in
congressional testimony:
FACT ONE:
Although asbestos is hazardous, human risk
of asbestos disease depends upon exposure.
FACT TWO:
Prevailing asbestos levels in buildings - the
levels school children and you and I face as
-------
building occupants - seem to be very low,
based upon available data. Accordingly, the
health risk we face as building occupants
also appears to be very low.
FACT THREE:
Removal is often not a school district's or
other building owner's best course of action
to reduce asbestos exposure. In fact, an
improper removal can create a dangerous
situation where none previously existed.
FACT FOUR:
EPA only requires asbestos removal in order
to prevent significant public exposure to
asbestos, such as during building renovation
or demolition.
FACT FIVE:
EPA does recommend in-place management
whenever asbestos is discovered. Instead of
removal, a conscientious in-place
management program will usually control
fiber releases, particularly when the
materials are not significantly damaged and
are not likely to be disturbed.
What are EPA's
regulations
governing
asbestos?
TSCA
In 1979, under the Toxic Substances Control
Act (TSCA), EPA began an asbestos technical
assistance program for building owners,
environmental groups, contractors and
industry. In May 1982, EPA issued the first
regulation intended to control asbestos in
schools under the authority of TSCA; this
regulation was known as the Asbestos-in-
Schools Rule. Starting in 1985, loans and
grants have been given each year to aid
10
-------
Local Education Agencies (LEAs) in
conducting asbestos abatement projects
under the Asbestos School Hazard
Abatement Act (ASHAA).
AHERA
In 1986, the Asbestos Hazard Emergency
Response Act (AHERA; Asbestos Containing
Materials in Schools, 40 CFR Part 763,
Subpart E) was signed into law as Title II of
TSCA. AHERA is more inclusive than the
May 1982 Asbestos-in-Schools Rule. AHERA
requires LEAs to inspect their schools for
asbestos containing building materials
(ACBM) and prepare management plans
wfyich recommend the best way to reduce
th| asbestos hazard. Options include
repairing damaged ACM, spraying it with
sealants, enclosing it, removing it, or
keeping it in good condition so that it does
not release fibers. The plans must be
developed by accredited management
planners and approved by the State. LEAs
must notify parent, teacher and employer
organizations of the plans, and then the
plans must be implemented.
AHERA also requires accreditation of
abatement designers, contractor supervisors
and workers, building inspectors, and school
management plan writers. Those
responsible for enforcing AHERA have
concentrated on educating LEAs, in an effort
to ensure that they comply with the
regulations. Contractors that improperly
remove asbestos from schools can be liable
under both AHERA and NESHAP. For more
information on AHERA, request the
pamphlet entitled "The ABC's of Asbestos in
Schools" from the EPA Public Information
Center.
11
-------
ASBESTOS BAN & PHASEOUT RULE
In 1989 EPA published the Asbestos:
Manufacture, Importation, Processing, and
Distribution in Commerce Prohibitions; Final
Rule (40 CFR Part 763, Subpart I). The rule will
eventually ban about 94 percent of the asbestos
used in the U.S. (based on 1985 estimates). For
example, asbestos containing drum brake linings
and roof coatings will be banned. The rule will
be implemented in three stages between 1990
and 1997.
NESHAP
The Clean Air Act (CAA) of 1970 requires
EPA to develop and enforce regulations to
protect the general public from exposure to
airborne contaminants that are known to be
hazardous to human health. In accordance
with Section 112 of the CAA, EPA
established National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP).
Asbestos was one of the first hazardous air
pollutants regulated under Section 112. On
March 31, 1971, EPA identified asbestos as a
hazardous pollutant, and on April 6, 1973,
EPA promulgated the Asbestos NESHAP in
40 CFR Part 61, Subpart M. The Asbestos
NESHAP has been amended several times,
most recently in November 1990. For a
copy of the Asbestos NESHAP contact the
Asbestos NESHAP Coordinators listed in the
Appendix.
What are the
basic
requirements
of the Asbestos
NESHAP?
The Asbestos NESHAP is intended to
minimize the release of asbestos fibers
during activities involving the handling of
asbestos. Accordingly, it specifies work
practices to be followed during renovations
12
-------
of buildings which contain a certain
threshold amount of friable asbestos, and
during demolitions of all structures,
installations, and facilities (except apartment
buildings that have no more than four
dwelling units). Most often, the Asbestos
NESHAP requires action to be taken by the
person who owns, leases, operates, controls,
or supervises the facility being demolished
or renovated (the "owner"), and by the
person who owns, leases, operators, controls
or supervises the demolition or renovation
(the "operator").
The regulations require owners and
operators subject to the Asbestos NESHAP to
notify delegated State and local agencies
and/or their EPA Regional Offices before
demolition or renovation activity begins.
The regulations restrict the use of spray
asbestos, and prohibit the use of wet applied
and molded insulation (i.e., pipe lagging).
The Asbestos NESHAP also regulates
asbestos waste handling and disposal.
Why was the
Asbestos
NESHAP
recently
amended?
The Asbestos NESHAP was amended for
several reasons. EPA wanted to clarify
existing regulatory policies, and to add
regulations which explicitly address
monitoring and recordkeeping at facilities
which mill, manufacture, and fabricate
asbestos. Also, because of the high risk
associated with the transfer and disposal of
ACM, EPA also wanted to strengthen the
13
-------
What sources
are now
covered by the
asbestos
NESHAP?
requirements which govern asbestos waste
disposal by requiring tracking and
recordkeeping. Furthermore, EPA
determined that the Asbestos NESHAP
needed to take into account the availability
of improved emission controls. EPA also
wanted to make the NESHAP consistent
with other EPA statutes that regulate
asbestos.
The following activities and facilities are
currently regulated by the Asbestos
NESHAP:
• The milling of asbestos.
• Roadways containing ACM.
• The commercial manufacture of products
that contain commercial asbestos.
• The demolition of all facilities.
• The renovation of facilities that contain
friable ACM.
• The spraying of ACM.
• The processing (fabricating) of any
manufactured products that contain
asbestos.
• The use of insulating materials that
contain commercial asbestos.
14
-------
What were the
major
changes to the
Asbestos
NESHAP?
• The disposal of asbestos-containing waste
generated during milling, manufacturing,
demolition, renovation, spraying, and
fabricating operation
• The closure and maintenance of inactive
waste disposal sites.
• The operation of and reporting on
facilities that convert asbestos containing
waste material into nonasbestos material.
• The design and operation of air cleaning
devices.
• The reporting of information pertaining
to process control equipment, filter
devices, asbestos generating processes,
etc.
• Active waste disposal sites.
Milling, Manufacturing, and Fabricating Sources
Businesses which are involved in asbestos
milling, manufacturing, and fabricating now
must monitor for visible emissions for at
least 15 seconds at least once a day (during
daylight hours), and inspect air cleaning
devices at least once a week. The facilities
must maintain records of the results, and
submit each quarter a copy of the visible
emissions monitoring records if visible
emissions occurred during the quarter.
Facilities that install fabric filters (to control
asbestos emissions) after the effective date
15
-------
of the revision must provide for easy
inspection of the bags.
Demolition and Renovation
All facilities which are "demolished" are
subject to the Asbestos NESHAP. The
definition of demolition was expanded to
include the intentional burning of a facility,
in addition to the "wrecking or taking
out . . . any load-supporting structural
member of a facility."
Owners and operators of all facilities which
are to be demolished, and of facilities that
contain a certain amount of asbestos which
are to be renovated, must now provide more
detailed information in notifications,
including the name of the asbestos waste
transporter and the name of the waste
disposal site where the ACM will be
deposited. Owners and operators must give
a 10-day notice for planned renovations and
demolitions. They must renotify EPA in
advance of the actual start date if the
demolition or renovation will begin on a
date other than the one specified in the
original notification. Telephone re-
notifications are permitted, but must be
followed by written notice.
Starting one year after promulgation of the
regulation, a person trained in the
provisions of the Asbestos NESHAP, and in
the methods of complying with them, must
supervise operations in which ACM is
stripped, removed or otherwise handled.
This supervisor is responsible for all on-site
activity.
16
-------
Before wetting is suspended, the EPA
administrator must approve. When wetting
of asbestos during its removal is suspended
due to freezing temperatures, owners or
operators must measure the air temperature
in the work area three times during the
workday, and must keep those records for at
least two years.
The revisions also clarify EPA's position
regarding the handling and treatment of
non-friable asbestos material. The owner
and operator must inspect the site for the
presence of non-friable ACM, and include in
the notification an estimate of how much
non-friable ACM is present. Also, the owner
and operator must describe the procedures
to be followed if unexpected ACM is found
in the course of demolition or renovation,
and if non-friable asbestos becomes friable
in the course of renovation or demolition.
Waste Transport and Disposal
Vehicles used to transport ACM must be
marked according to new guidelines during
loading and unloading. Labels indicating
the name of the waste generator and the
location where the waste was generated
must be placed on containers of RACM.
When ACM waste is transported off-site, a
waste shipment record (WSR) must be given
to the waste site operator or owner at the
time that the waste is delivered to the waste
disposal site. The owner or operator must
17
-------
send a signed copy of the WSR back to the
waste generator within 30 days, and attempt
to reconcile any discrepancy between the
quantity of waste given on the WSR and the
actual amount of waste received. If, within
15 days of receiving the waste, the waste site
owner or operator cannot reconcile the
discrepancy, he or she must report that
problem to the same agency that was
notified about the demolition or renovation.
New disposal sites must apply for approval
to construct, and must notify EPA of the
startup date. Existing disposal sites must
supply EPA with certain information
concerning their operations, such as the
name and address of the owner or operator,
the location of the site, the average weight
per month of the hazardous materials being
processed, and a description of the existing
emission control equipment.
If a copy of the WSR signed by the waste
site owner or operator is not received by the
waste generator within 35 days of the date
that the waste was accepted by the initial
transporter, the waste generator must
contact the transporter and/or disposal site
owner or operator to determine the status of
the waste shipment. If a signed copy of the
WSR is not received within 45 days of the
date that the waste was accepted by the
initial transporter, the waste generator must
submit a written report to the same agency
that was notified about the demolition or
renovation.
18
-------
Owners of disposal sites must record on the
deed to the disposal site that the property
has been used for ACM disposal. They must
also keep records that show the location,
depth, area and volume of the asbestos
waste; they must indicate on the deed that
these records are available.
Owners of inactive disposal sites must
obtain written approval before they excavate
or otherwise disturb ACM waste that has
been deposited on the site.
Where can I
get more
information?
There are ten EPA Regional Offices around
the country. You can obtain more
information about the Asbestos NESHAP by
contacting your EPA Regional Office's
NESHAP coordinator or the appropriate
State or local agency. You can obtain more
information about AHERA by contacting
your EPA Regional Asbestos Coordinator
(RAC). The addresses and phone numbers
of both the RAC and NESHAP coordinators
for EPA are listed at the end of this
pamphlet.
You may also call the EPA Toxic Substances
Control Act (TSCA) Hotline to ask general
questions about asbestos, or to request
asbestos guidance documents. The Hotline
number is (202) 554-1404. The EPA Public
Information Center can send you
information on EPA regulations. You can
reach the center at (202) 382-2080 or (202)
