Asbestos-containing material (ACM) is not generally considered harmful unless it is releasing dust or fibers into the air. When asbestos dust or fibers are released into the air, many of the fibers will become trapped in the mucous membranes of the nose and throat where they can then be removed, but some may pass deep into the lungs. Once they are trapped in the lungs, the fibers can cause health problems.
