Common Locations in Illinois Where Asbestos Exposure OccurredPeople in Illinois might not have to contend with many naturally-occurring asbestos locations, but the material served a vital role in a number of industries located throughout the state, including:
Various state and federal regulations in Illinois dictate the use of asbestos. Additionally, some of the state’s larger counties have additional regulations concerning the use of asbestos.
One state regulation is that only licensed individuals in Illinois are able to perform asbestos removal in both commercial and public locations. This regulation also applies to residential locations that contain more than four units.
