Asbestos was commonly used in a wide array of products, including:
1. Residential and commercial insulation in walls and ceilings and under floorboards
2. Cement
3. Coatings, including sprayed and textured coatings used on walls and under roofs
4. Ceiling tiles
Asbestos was also used in a number of consumer products, including talcum powder, hair dryers, and curtains. It was commonly used in churches, schools, and theaters for soundproofing and insulation, and it can even be found in some older linoleum and floor tiles.
