Default Testing

It is fairly easy to have the dust tested for asbestos or lead, both could be in the dust.

The issue with both is that once made into dust, it can get everywhere and it's very difficult to get rid of. Sweep the shop, it's airborne. Use the air hose to clean up, it's airborne. Once contaminated, getting rid of it is difficult at best.

There are methods used when dealing with both, some include wetting and then collecting the run off.

If it's in chunks, not so bad. Once it gets into the air......

Lot's of info online.
