Asbestos uses in hospitals

The most common uses of asbestos in healthcare facilities include:

Pipe insulation, building materials (siding, wall board or spackling compounds, floor tile, ceiling tile), HVAC duct insulation, boiler insulation, cooling towers and electrical wiring insulation.

These asbestos sources can pose health hazards. For example, damaged asbestos insulation can pose health problems because asbestos loose in the air can be inhaled.
