Asbestos in Linoleum?
My family is helping remodel my parents house and iv been looking up ways to take off linoleum floors and stuff and found out about this asbestos stuff. and that the floor at my familys house is form 68′ the linoleum. The adhesive glue is black weve taken off the linoleum floor. The floor underneath is sticky and the glue is black does this mean it has asbestos? If so iv told them it might have it and they said they dont care..and im worried because weve breathed the air already working trying to take off the glue. What should i do to prove them that its dangerous and it should be checked by someone.
Some old glue does have asbestos. I have refinished our bathroom floor linoleum twice with the glue already on (peel and stick). Our house was built in 1968 also. Heat some water to boiling and put on some of the exposed black part. If it bubbles up, it is not true cut-back and does not have asbestos.
