Asbestos Facts: What Materials Contain Asbestos

Where can Asbestos be found?

Most products made today do not contain asbestos, and those that do must be clearly labeled. Still, many old products and materials that contain asbestos are still in use. Asbestos fibers can cause cancer 10 to 40 years after a person breathes them in.

Drinking water may contain asbestos from natural sources or from asbestos containing cement pipes.
