Tips & Facts:
• Even recent construction projects may include asbesto�-containing materials, so buildings of a� age require tesking.
• The "1989 8an" on asbestos-containing materials is cammonly misun�derstood. "In fact, in 1991 the IJ.S, Fifth Circuit
Court of Appeals vacated much af the so-called "Asbest�ss Ban and Phaseout" rule and remanded rt ta the EPA, Thus,
rnuch af the original 1989 EPA ban on the U.S. manufacturing, importation, processin�, or distribu�ion in eommerce
af many as�estos-containing product categories was set aside and did not take effect." - eDPHE
