ACMs were used in multiple materials that are commonly found in homes, such as flooring, ceiling tiles, insulation, siding, and roof shingles. After the 1980s, regulations were placed on asbestos and the material was used far less frequently in homes.<\/p>\n<p>Since ACMs are common in homes built before the 1980s, it\u2019s likely that asbestos particles could be in the air if you are living in an older home. This is especially true if you\u2019re doing any home renovation or construction projects, as drilling into these materials can cause asbestos airborne particles to release into the air.<\/p>\n<p>As a safety precaution, be sure to have your home tested for asbestos before beginning any sort of home construction project. While it may not seem like your home could have asbestos, it\u2019s better to be safe than sorry, as the health effects of asbestos may not come into play until decades later.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-22806 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/old-asbestos-house.jpg\" alt=\"old abandoned house\" width=\"724\" height=\"483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/old-asbestos-house.jpg 724w, https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/old-asbestos-house-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>How do HEPA air filtration systems help?<\/h2>\n<p>While it is possible to have asbestos removed from your home, it can be a costly project that requires hiring a professional abatement contractor. This is where <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/how-to-know-if-hvac-can-handle-a-hepa-air-filter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HEPA air filtration<\/a> can come in handy. While most homes do not have filtration systems already installed that are HEPA-grade, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.filtersfast.com\/HEPA-Filters-cat.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HEPA air purifier<\/a> is a great option.<\/p>\n<p>True HEPA filters have the ability to filter out tiny asbestos fibers and clean the air from other harmful air pollutants. Asbestos particles can range in size from 0.7 to 90 microns, making them hard to see with the naked eye. HEPA air filters can remove particles as small as 0.3 microns and purify the air, making it safe to breathe and live in your home.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22807 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/hepa-filtration.jpg\" alt=\"3D rendering of a HEPA filter that can completely remove fine dust and ultra fine dust and refresh indoor air.\" width=\"788\" height=\"443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/hepa-filtration.jpg 788w, https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/hepa-filtration-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/hepa-filtration-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>However, if you plan to do any major home improvement projects you may want to consider having asbestos professionally removed or sealing the areas that pose the risk of potential exposure. It\u2019s important to note that for the most peace of mind and greatest chances of avoiding asbestos exposure is to invest in having it completely removed.<\/p>\n<p>Before installing filters that remove asbestos, be sure to speak with a professional to ensure you are implementing the proper filters for your central air system and needs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"ffbutton\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filtersfast.com\/Commercial-HEPA-Filters-cat.asp\">Shop HEPA Air Filters<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Most residential HVAC systems are not able to handle True HEPA filters.
