The inspector should also verify that the sealant has "locked down" any remaining asbestos. An air sample should be taken following the inspection, and if it shows an increased amount of asbestos than the required amount, the area must be re-cleaned.
The disposal and transport of asbestos is regulated by the state of New Jersey and is monitored by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).

Asbestos is present in floor tiles and roofing shingles, as well as in exterior siding, cement and brakes for cars. These products can release fibers into the air when the ACM is agitated or removed.
