As discussed in the asbestos, all new uses of asbestos in the U.S. have
been banned since 1989, but removal of asbestos from each and every source
that existed prior to that date is not possible. Therefore, it is important
to be familiar with the many different substances, products, and materials
that may contain asbestos, especially if you believe that you or a loved one
are developing an asbestos-related illness.
Note: this list does not contain each and every product or material that
may contain asbestos, and the fact that a product or material is listed here
does not necessarily mean that asbestos can be found in each version of that
product. In other words, some of the products and materials identified here
may be manufactured completely free of asbestos.
