📊 Facts About Asbestos in Vermiculite Products

• 🔥 Vermiculite from contaminated mines contained high levels of tremolite asbestos.
• 🚨 Asbestos Exposure: Extremely high during installation, removal, mixing, or disturbance of insulation and construction materials.
• 💢 Asbestos-Related Disease Risk: Severe for insulators, construction workers, drywall installers, shipyard crews, and Navy personnel.
• 🏠 Loose-fill attic insulation and lightweight plasters were often contaminated with asbestos fibers.
• 👷 Similar Occupations: Builders, roofers, HVAC technicians, painters, electricians, and demolition crews.


📜 History of Asbestos Use in Vermiculite Products

From the 1920s through the 1990s, vermiculite was widely used as a lightweight, fire-resistant, and insulating material in construction, manufacturing, and agriculture. However, much of the vermiculite mined in the U.S.—especially from the infamous Libby, Montana mine—was contaminated with tremolite asbestos, a highly toxic form of the mineral. Millions of homes and buildings were insulated with asbestos-tainted vermiculite without public knowledge of the risks.

Disturbing these materials during installation, remodeling, or demolition released dangerous asbestos fibers into the air. Workers and homeowners often inhaled these fibers unknowingly. Even today, many older homes and commercial buildings still contain vermiculite insulation, posing a continued risk during renovations and repairs.
