Asbestos: Effect on Category I Materials

The use of cranes during the razing process does not cause Category I nonfriable asbestos-containing materials (ACM) to become RACM; therefore, Category I materials which are not in poor condition and not friable may remain in the building during such demolition.

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

Weitz & Luxenberg is a leading plaintiffs' law firm that has represented people affected by mesothelioma for over 20 years. Men and women diagnosed with mesothelioma caused by asbestos exposure may be entitled to compensation from the companies responsible for their disease.
