when was asbestos insulation banned
Although the Environmental Protection Agency banned most asbestos-containing products on July 12, 1989, this ruling was overturned in 1991 by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans. Fortunately, this later ruling did not overturn the ban on all asbestos materials. Some of the products that remain banned after this overruling are flooring felt, rollboard, and corrugated commercial, or specialty, paper as well as all ânew usesâ of asbestos.
