What should you do if you think ceiling tiles have asbestos the tile is falling apart but not down has a brown cardboard look to back the bank is landlord and am really concerned over our health?
Most likely the tiles will not contain asbestos, but get an expert opinion at the expense of the Landlord, if possible. If you can't get the landlord to act, have a sample collected by a qualified person and analysed by a qualified laboratory, one approved for asbestos analysis. The cost would probably not exceed $50 for a single sample. If you are "really concerned," that should not be a problem. Ask the landlord to confirm whether or not the tile contains asbestos. If the building was built before 1980 and is in the US, OSHA regulations require the landlord to provide that information. If the building was built after 1980, the ceiling tiles are unlikely to contain asbestos in the first place, although apparently some modern ones coming in from Canada have had asbestos in the outer coating layer.
What is the weight of a pre1980 4' x 8' x 0.25 inch thick sheet of fire rated asbestos?
The weight of a pre-1980 4' x 8' x 0.25 inch thick sheet of fire-rated asbestos can vary depending on the specific composition, but it typically ranges from 60 to 80 pounds. Asbestos sheets are dense due to the material's properties, which contribute to their weight. For a more accurate figure, it’s best to consult manufacturer specifications or similar asbestos products. Always handle asbestos with caution due to its health risks.
Is there such a thing as Asbestos in popcorn ceilings?
Yes. In materials installed in 1980 and earlier, some of the surface texturing materials WAS asbestos. The OSHA Construction standard for asbestos (1926.1101) requires that all thermal insulation, and surface texturing used in 1980 and earlier be considered to PRESUME to be asbestos until a lab test shows it is not. Now, having said that, if you have a popcorn ceiling, please do not rush to the den and start scraping it off. Not all popcorn is asbestos, and the danger of asbestos is inhaling it-so don't start making dust. There are several means of dealing with asbestos. If you are a construction worker, and encounter old popcorn ceilings, inform your supervisor, and ask that it be considered asbestos until examined by a qualified asbestos surveyor. It should also be mentioned that, while the use of asbestos in manufacturing acoustic texture was banned in the seventies and eighties,a lot of the material was already on the market.Some contractors had purchased pallets of the material, as it was so popular.So just because your house may have been built after the ban on asbestos,always use the appropriate particle mask and mist the ceiling with water before and during removal. Proper disposal is important also.It is best to use plastic sheeting to capture the material,then fold the material up in the plastic,and keep it sealed.Overall it is best to hire professionals to handle the removal of acoustic "popcorn"texture.

Does siding contain asbestos?
If the siding was manufactured in the 1970s or earlier, it may contain asbestos. To know for sure, the siding must be examined under a microscope by a specialist. The material should be relatively safe if the fibers are contained within some sort of plastic or epoxy and is not disturbed. If the fibers are exposed and frayed it is a safety hazard and should be removed by qualified individuals using proper safety equipment and procedures. When the material is disturbed, the asbestos fibers will become airborne. If the siding was manufactured in the 1980's or later, in the US, Western Europe or other countries, it will not contain asbestos. However, siding in some parts of the developing world may still contain asbestos.
