Featured ADAO Resource of the Month: Prevention
For 11 years, ADAO has developed, aggregated, and shared asbestos information. Moving forward, ADAO will highlight one educational resource every month that can be read and shared to raise awareness and prevent asbestos-related diseases.
Check out this month’s featured ADAO Prevention page with information about:
- How to identify asbestos?
- What to do if you suspect asbestos-contaminated materials are in your home, school, or workplace.
- What the EPA recommends for testing, repairs, and removal.
- How to find a certified laboratory for testing and/or professional for repairs and removal.
- Order your copy of the updated Environmental Protection Agency’s 1985 document “Guidance for Controlling Asbestos- Containing Materials in Buildings” (EPA 560/5-85-024) Known as the Purple Book. This is the preeminent guide for those that own or manage buildings that contain asbestos-containing materials which was updated by the Environmental Information Association.
