Full Description

During 1989, the US Environmental Protection Agency took two significant rulemaking initiatives affecting asbestos cement pipe. The first proposed maximum contaminant level goals (MCLGs) for asbestos in drinking water; the second was a regulation banning the manufacture and distribution of most asbestos-containing products, including pipe. This paper provides an overview of the regulations, emphasizing the latter, and gives the Asbestos Cement Pipe Producers Association arguments against them.
