My next door neighbor is replacing the asbestos roofing tiles on her 45 year old back house. The men doing the work are wearing gas masks. The dust and particles from the removal are flying over my six foot fence which sits about three feet from the structure. My two year old twin daughters were playing in the driveway adjacent to the work area. Is it safe and customary to remove asbestos tiles without some kind of tenting to prevent the dust from blowing into adjacent living areas? If we have been exposed to carcinogens what are the risks? Is it possible my children will contract asbestosis?

I am going to be getting wall to wall carpet in my finished basement and I have about 300 square feet of asbestos tile over concrete flooring that has been sealed with an oil based primer and painted over with floor and deck paint. Do I need to remove the tiles before the carpet is laid?

The outside of our house is covered in Asbestos tiles, but we can’t find a dump in MA that will take the asbestos if we take it off (with protection).

We have a house from 1950’s that we bought last year. We have Carpet over the asbestos tiles in the basement.

The other day when i removed the carpet, there was a lot of dust on top of the tiles. The tiles look strong and solid but there is dust on top of it.
I am curious if its SAFE/HARMFUL to remove the carpet and clean up all the dust. The dust appears to be settled from years of use of the carpet.

Thanks,
