March 1983 EPA guidance from the Office of Toxic Substances, prepared by Dale L. Keyes and Bertram P. Price of Battelle Memorial Institute, to supplement earlier advice to building owners on friable asbestos materials. It summarizes health effects and regulations, sets out how to run an asbestos control program, and covers inspection, sampling and exposure assessment. It compares removal, enclosure and encapsulation, and explains how to judge when an abatement is complete.
