EPA proposes ban on asbestos containing products

Abstract
In 01/86 the EPA announced a proposal to immediately ban 5 major asbestos products, including saturated and unsaturated roofing felts. The proposal also called for a phaseout of all remaining uses of asbestos in the US over the next 10 years. At this time, the ban is no more than a proposal and will not take effect immediately.
