Guide Advises on Asbestos Hazard
- Share via
Most homes built or remodeled between 1950 and 1978 contain asbestos in some form. It’s important to know if the house where you live contains asbestos and what to do if it does.
A free, consumer-oriented booklet titled “Asbestos in the Home” can be obtained from the Asbestos Victims Special Fund Trust, a nonprofit organization that was created in 1988 as part of the bankruptcy settlement of the asbestos maker Johns Manville Corp.
For a copy of the booklet, call (800) 447-7590.
