Five Star Envrionmental does asbestos air testing for private and commercial purposes in New York City. The most popular method of asbestos air testing is the PCM method also known as fiber count method was invented by OSHA.

Are Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) still legal? Asbestos is a mineral which is (still) added to other (mainly construction) materials to improve their thermal, fire resistance and mechanical (strength) quality. Only two type of asbestos materials are banned: Thermal System Insulation and Surfacing Materials (spray-ons). Other materials though unpopular, are still legal. Asbestos Containing Materials are defined as materials which contain more that 1% of asbestos fiber. S...o legally you can buy materials (even at Home Depot) which may say: contains asbestos. Obviously, we don’t want to have to deal with asbestos contamination and abatement requirement during construction and demolition. Again, only ACM are regulated by federal and local laws. Any material containing 1% or less is not regulated and can be used freely like other construction materials. See more
