Asbestos Links and Information
In 1989, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) imposed a ban on the manufacturing and use of almost all asbestos-containing materials within the United States. In 1991, a federal circuit court remanded parts of the ban allowing continued manufacturing and use of certain asbestos-containing products in the U.S. USEPA provides a summary discussion of the asbestos ban and phase-outs in effect at the following link:
