Asbestos is an isolated, physical contaminant that appears in a variety of shapes, sizes, and degrees of deterioration, including:
- Bonded Asbestos-Containing Material (ACM)
- Fibrous Asbestos (FA) – Friable and fibrous material, i.e. loose insulation or any other material that can be crumbled or broken by hand pressure.
- Asbestos Fines (AF) – Free fibres, ACM or FA that have been degraded, broken, damaged or weathered
Former waste disposal, industry, and other activities can contaminate sites.
Contamination is typically detected during land-use shifts, such as from industrial to residential, and can have serious consequences for local governments, landowners, potential buyers, and other stakeholders.
