Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was commonly used in a variety of construction materials until its dangers were discovered. Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are materials that contain asbestos fibers, which can be released into the air if the material is disturbed or damaged. Once inhaled, these fibers can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

Common ACMs include:

• Insulation (especially sprayed-on insulation)
• Floor tiles and coverings
• Ceiling tiles and panels
• Roofing and siding materials
• Pipe insulation
• Textured paint and coatings
