Q:

I am fairly sure I have white asbestos in my home. How do I know whether it is pure chrysotile or contaminated with the more dangerous kinds of asbestos (amphibole asbestos - crocidolite and amosite)?

This is a job for an expert - the material will need to be analysed by a specialist firm. As a rule, chrysotile was used for most applications where some consumer contact was expected, with amphiboles reserved for industrial applications, but some amphibole (especially amosite) was used in buildings, particularly those constructed in the 1950's.  more
