Asbestos, when managed properly, appears to pose little risk to students

Most asbestos-containing materials (ACM) can be properly managed where it is. In fact, asbestos that is managed properly and maintained in good condition appears to pose relatively little risk to students and school employees.  Accordingly, the AHERA schools rule rarely requires the removal of asbestos materials.

Exposure to asbestos is known to cause serious diseases such as mesothelioma, asbestos-related lung cancer and asbestosis.
