Consumer booklet from August 1982 by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission and the Environmental Protection Agency. In question-and-answer form, it explains what asbestos is, its health risks, and where it may be found in the home: vinyl flooring, patching compounds and textured paints, ceilings, stoves and furnaces, door gaskets, walls and pipes, appliances, and roofing and siding. It also gives general guidance on handling products that contain asbestos.
