Can a home owner remove asbestos from his home?
Yes, it is possible to remove asbestos. It is also possible to encapsulate asbestos to render it less subject to damage and release. All of this depends on the regulations and laws in your particular state. Most states exempt a home owner, working on his own single-family home, from the asbestos removal regulations. This exemption sometimes applies to a home owner working on a two family building if the owner occupies one of the units. Unless the home owner is familiar with proper removal procedures, however, he would be well advised to contract with a qualified compny for the work, despite the cost. Contaminating one's home with asbestos, and the resulting clean-up costs (or health costs if the contamination is not recognized) is not usually seen as desireable.

Generally, No. I, personally, have never seen one and am relatively certain that no dust mask protects users against asbestos.
