Find answers to common questions about asbestos safety, testing, and removal in Japan
The only way to definitively confirm asbestos is through laboratory testing. However, if your home was built before 2012 — especially before 1975 — there is a significant likelihood of asbestos-containing materials. The highest risk applies to buildings from the 1960–2000 peak usage period. Common locations include roofing, wall cladding, floor tiles, and ceiling coatings.
