Improper Asbestos Handling in Des Moines, Iowa Sparks Outcry, Possible Legal Action

In February 2008, A company remodeling a downtown Des Moines landmark may be fined after asbestos was found on many floors of the building. 

After the Iowa Department of Natural Resources received an anonymous tip, inspectors found the asbestos in insulation debris scattered around the Equitable Building.

An attorney involved said the asbestos exposure to people shopping for condominiums and construction workers over 14 months could have been considerable.
