It was legal to use asbestos in popcorn ceilings until 1978, however existing stocks of acoustic mix were used well into the 1980’s. Because of this, people who live or work in homes or businesses that were built prior to the date when asbestos could have been used in the construction of the building fear that asbestos indeed exists in the buildings where they live and reside. It is very likely that if your home was constructed before 1978 and your home has an acoustic popcorn ceiling your acoustic ceiling asbestos concerns are legitimate. In order to find out whether or not your house or business does contain asbestos, a sample must be tested by a lab to determine if indeed the ceiling is positive for asbestos and presents a danger. It is impossible to determine if a ceiling contains asbestos simply by looking at it without a microscope and a trained eye.
