How do you determine if linoleum has asbestos?
Linoleum generally did not contain asbestos but other forms of floor tiles that some people mistakenlycall linoleum, did.

Although a home owner can legally collect a sample in most jurisdictions, proper technique in collecting the sample is important to avoid contaminating the space if the materials does contain asbestos. So it may be best to pay the extra $25-$40 to have a knowledgeable and qualified technician collect the sample and send it to a qualified lab.

Does linoleum have asbestos in it?
Linoleum is actually a brand name which is often confused with all types of sheet vinyl. In fact many types of sheet vinyl have asbestos in the backing as well as in the associated mastics used for installation. The backings can have very high Chrysotile content of up to 65% and should be approached with caution if there are plans to disturb it or if it is in deteriorated condition. Date of manufacture is very helpful as asbestos content in sheet vinyl falls dramatically after 1985 but before that asbestos is very common in all resilient flooring.
