My home was built in the late 60's and from what I have heard it is almost certain I have asbestos underneath my linoleum in my bathroom and kitchen floors. I want to replace the floors but I know it is to costly to have a professional do it. I run into the problem also that the linoleum curves up on the sides of the walls about 3-4 inches, making it difficult if I just wanted to lay new tile over it. Can anyone tell me how to remove it safely without costing me an arm and a leg or can I cut into the linoleum at the walls so it can lay flat, put the new tile & molding over the linoleum? Please help. Thank you.

我的浴室里有石棉瓷砖,我的房屋检查员告诉他们应该通过密封房间,穿着防护装备和正确处理它们来清除它们。然后,他说,实际上,我们可以将它们拉起来,将它们放在路边。

石棉很危险,因为可以吸入微小的石棉颗粒,然后将其放入肺中。但是,如果石棉没有一种较小,松散的颗粒(例如喷雾石棉)的形式,那么您真的不必担心。就像您没有陶瓷瓷砖的情况下没有粘土颗粒一样,您也不会有石棉颗粒在石棉瓷砖周围漂浮。因此,如果您的石棉以类似的形式,您可能不必担心。

但是,这并不意味着您不应该小心。当我卸下瓷砖时,我会戴着一个全脸面膜,然后将塑料悬挂在门口上,以最大程度地减少我可能遇到的任何问题。另外,如果我要分解瓷砖,而不仅仅是举起整个瓷砖,那将是另一个故事。

Don't take this as encouragement to break the law or guidelines that exist in your area, but understand that many things are less dangerous than they are made out to be and many things are more dangerous than they seem. Oxygen can kill you and chlorine that's used to treat drinking water can form into carginogenics, it all depends on the form it comes in and the quantities you are exposed to.

我鼓励您确定您正在处理什么,并可能与一些可能已经解决这个问题的邻居交谈。您甚至可以从中获得参考和价格范围。

嗨,肛门,

马克有一些很好的建议。您可以自己删除它,但是正如他所说,您需要“了解”石棉。

Asbestos isn't really a respiratory problem unless it becomes airborne (as you've already read.) If this occurs, you should have already sealed the room AND be wearing a Respirator. This is why you don't want to use a Saw or do any sanding when working with any material that contains Asbestos. In short, these 'tools' will make the Asbestos airborne!

So, if you're going to do this job yourself, seal the doorways and wear protective gear. MINIMIZE or do what you can to PREVENT the asbestos from becoming airborne. 'Splitting' the material by hand will cause it to become Friable (i.e., airborne/dust.) This is why you seal the room and wear the gear. You don't need a Professional Abatement company unless your Municipality requires it.

在许多情况下,专业人士会建议您简单地“封装”地板,然后安装新的地板。我碰巧选择去除,因为有一天,您可能需要在房屋中披露每种形式的“已知”石棉,包括您封装的地板。卖方披露法律一直在改变。尽管封装是可以的Asbestos! Once they're educated, they'll know all the better. It's that when it comes to buying YOUR house, they may run instead of asking if it's 'harmless'.

我对你最好,希望这会有所帮助。

PS:根据谁在捡起您的垃圾,您可能会或不允许将其扔出去。同时,假设您可以,我敢肯定,对于“大型”碎片可以在路边侧面“大”有规模要求。请记住,没有锯子(即使是手持锯,甚至在外面切下来!)您需要做一些功课,然后才能挖掘地板...

杰伊·J,

You mentioned "encapsulation" of the asbestos tile. What are the options for encapsulating? I was told by someone to trowel on flooring adhesive and just let it dry. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Hi bclerico,

The flooring is usually 'sealed' w/a layer of Lauan or plywood or something like that. The asbestos isn't harmful unless it becomes Friable (i.e., airborne.) Then the new flooring is installed on top.

我对你最好,希望这会有所帮助。

我知道发布并回答这很旧,但是希望在这里参与对话的某些聚会在这里可能仍然活跃。

我有1968年的房子,Lino或9x9瓷砖。我打算安装层压板,但是,交通繁忙区域有3/4英寸的蘸料。该怎么办?有什么建议吗?您曾经解决过您的情况吗?

You should be able to level the low spot using a floor leveling compound. A floating installation of laminate floor would avoid the need to remove or nail through the tile.

正如杰伊·J(Jay J)和其他人所讨论的那样,乙烯基和沥青石棉瓷砖是一种相对较低的去除危险,并且使用湿法清除方法轻松控制纤维释放。您可以将瓷砖的样本带到本地分析实验室,并以约35美元的价格进行PLM分析,以验证是否存在石棉。无论如何,您可以在瓷砖的最小破坏中安装项目。

tomh -谢谢你…担忧re:矫直机dhering to the linoleum? weight? Do you want a job? :) ... this is too small of a job in an area that is growing and is still recovering from a tornado 2 years ago ... hence the research into DIY

My brother just removed some very old linoleum from two bedrooms in the family vacation cabin, and I'd guess from his description that he had to damage a lot of the tiles in the process. (There was also some tar-like substance that required a lot of scraping to remove, if that helps identify the kind of tile it might have been.) It wasn't till I mentioned it to my husband that the possibility of asbestos exposure occurred to any of us (though it should have!). I'm slightly freaked out that my brother's been exposed to some nasty stuff, and am also worried about our kids using the cabin in the coming weeks. Is there anything my brother should do? And if there is asbestos in the air now, what's the best way to deal with it? Thanks for any help!

好吧,我不会吓到太多了,但是如果做得不正确,那么纤维可以在通风口和其他角落和缝隙中安顿下来,然后等待再次空降。因此,我对可能会提供什么建议来提供帮助。

让专业执行空气测试,以确保没有石棉风险

我刚刚在我正在更新的租赁房中发现了一些可疑的油毡。雇用了一家减排公司来取样。他们说油毡的石棉含量为7%。但是,他们拒绝以我和我的妻子“不明白的理由”为由提供报告。现在我们也不信任他们。如果我们自己去除油毡,可以将其切成小块而不释放石棉吗?我们拥有的是大床单,边缘粘在一起。有什么建议么?谢谢你。

如果有人将紧密的木地板放在大部分完整的地板上,那会没事的吗?

We recently bought an older home. We riped up the floor tiles in the basement that could have contained asbestos, cleaned it up and laid carpet down. Then on the upper floor we drilled down ¼ inch plywood on top of old tiles (floor boards are open to the basement) and put down ceramic tiles.

通过钻入地板,我们是否将石棉纤维发送到地下室并产生健康风险?

Obviously, we could have exposed ourselves to asbestos. Though, on the go forward are we currently in danger or should we be fine?

我已经在1956年建造的房屋中取下了2层油毡地板。现在,我看到一张干净的白色床单,看起来像黑色的焦油,下面是黑色的焦油。那是石棉吗?

BV021242,我也有同样的问题。黑皮纸位于两层乙烯基/油毡地板的底部。我相当确定以前的所有者知道石棉和在其上铺设乙烯基以隐藏它。我打算去除自己。

我们在1951年建造了一栋房屋,我们的墙壁是浴缸,我不知道它可能在墙壁上有石棉。我们已经拆除了大部分墙壁,因为我们使用所有设备的玻璃现在呼吸器,但起初不是。我们一直在锯和锤击,将所有东西保持湿,将碎屑放入塑料中并将其密封。它大约是7/8厚。桑德拉

那么,可以安全地去除地板上的旧油毡片,但不粘下粘合的呢?
