For decades, it was used to make building materials and home products. While useful, it took a long time to realize just how dangerous this material was. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When products containing asbestos are damaged, including from natural deterioration, asbestos fibers are released into the air. These fibers are carcinogenic, posing a severe health risk to anyone who is exposed to them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Timeline of Asbestos Usage &amp; Regulations<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asbestos Use in the \u201840s &amp; \u201850s<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the war, asbestos use in materials skyrocketed worldwide as countries worked to rebuild cities. This was a time of expansion in the U.S. as well, and with a growing economy came demand for more homes and commercial buildings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asbestos Use in the \u201860s &amp; \u201870s<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asbestos usage continued throughout the \u201860s and \u201870s. At the height of U.S. consumption, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">804,000 tons<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of asbestos were used to make building supplies and products. <em><strong>The turning point came in 1973,<\/strong><\/em> when the EPA banned spray-applied surfacing made from asbestos. This was the first of the many partial bans that would soon follow.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asbestos Use in the \u201880s &amp; \u201890s<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Still, asbestos continued to be present in certain materials and products throughout the \u201880s and \u201890s. Any homes from the \u201840s to the \u201890s can contain asbestos products, so if you have any suspicions, it\u2019s best to get your home checked.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asbestos Use in the 2000\u2019s\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Up until March 2024, products containing chrysotile asbestos were still circulating in the manufacturing industry. While the usage of chrysotile has been declining for a long time, it was still being imported into the United States until 2022 for use in the chlor-alkali industry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Did They Stop Using Asbestos in Homes?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As asbestos had a slow phase-out from the market over many decades, it\u2019s difficult to discern by date if a property contains asbestos. Thankfully, homes built today now no longer pose any risk.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>April 2022<\/strong> <\/span>&#8211; <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/newsreleases\/biden-harris-administration-finalizes-ban-ongoing-uses-asbestos-protect-people-cancer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">U.S. Environmental Protection Agency<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Proposes Ban on Asbestos Usage<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In April 2022, the EPA proposed banning the ongoing usage of the only form of asbestos still being used in products that were being imported into the U.S., specifically chrysotile asbestos.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>March 2024<\/strong><\/span> &#8211; EPA Announces Ban on Ongoing Uses of Asbestos\u00a0<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On March 18, 2024, the EPA officially announced a ban on chrysotile asbestos. This ban on ongoing uses of asbestos marks the first rule to be finalized under the 2016 amendments to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/laws-regulations\/summary-toxic-substances-control-act\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This ban was passed with near-unanimous support from both the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Year was Asbestos Banned for Construction?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asbestos use in construction wasn&#8217;t completely banned in any single year; rather, regulations were phased in over time.
