OVERVIEW OF ASBESTOS USES

Occupational exposure is the most common means of asbestos contamination, and asbestos was widely used by the construction, automotive, shipping, and oil and gas industries. Family members of those who worked with and around asbestos were also at risk for mesothelioma or lung cancer through second-hand asbestos exposure.

Following is a shortlist of commercial, industrial and consumer products that commonly contained asbestos. Although most applications of asbestos have been banned in the United States since 1989, asbestos may still be used in some products including cement sheeting and shingles, pipeline wrap, roofing felt, vinyl floor tiles, millboard, certain motor vehicle parts, and roof coatings.
