When we receive products suspected to have asbestos, we examine those using different analytical techniques, including polarized light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. These techniques allow us to determine whether a product contains asbestos and how much is present. Examples of products that have tested positive for asbestos include electrical components, gaskets and packing, ropes, gloves, joint compounds, talcum powder, floor tiles, dryer felts, automotive brakes and clutches, welding rods, vermiculite attic insulation, cigarette filters, and cement pipes.
