Asbestos is commonly found in thermal insulations, acoustical spray on ceilings, resilient floor coverings, sidings, and roofing materials and is typically used for building, strength or even for decorative purposes. In fact, an estimated 3,000 products have been manufactured that contain asbestos, and there is still no prohibition on the manufacturing or installation of these materials.

Despite its widespread use, regulated asbestos-containing materials must be removed prior to general renovation and demolition in accordance with specific government standards including those of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In addition, Arkansas’ Department of Environmental Quality enforces the delegated NESHAP program, in addition to current state regulations.
