Asbestos, the EPA and the NRMRL

EPA’s National Risk Management Research Laboratory (NRMRL), headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, is jointly studying with EPA Region 6 and other EPA offices, an Alternative process of removing asbestos from homes and other buildings. In particular, NRMRL’s Sustainable Technology Division (STD) is utilizing engineers and scientists from the Industrial Multimedia Branch to perform the study which will compare a standard method of asbestos removal with the Alternative method.
