Vermiculite Removal | Aucoin's Insulation
What is vermiculite? https://aucoinsinsulation.com
Vermiculite is a mineral that was used for insulation. If your home was built before 1990, you might have vermiculite insulation in your walls or attic. Up to 85 percent of all vermiculite insulation in the U.S. came from a mine in Libby, Montana, sold under the name Zonolite.
Why is vermiculite bad?
Nearly all vermiculite contains asbestos, which can cause lung cancer when inhaled. While it’s true that undisturbed, encapsulated asbestos doesn’t pose a health risk, the asbestos in vermiculite insulation isn’t encapsulated and can easily become airborne during cleaning, maintenance or remodeling. And, the type of asbestos found in vermiculite—called amphibole—is even more hazardous than the chrysotile asbestos that was more commonly used in the U.S.
Federal guidelines are weak
The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) recommends that if you have vermiculite, it’s best to assume it contains asbestos and leave it alone. You can have it tested for asbestos, but here’s the rub. The EPA defines an asbestos-containing material (ACM) as having greater than 1 percent asbestos. If it’s found to contain less than 1 percent asbestos, it’s not considered an ACM. That’s misleading, as it seems to imply that the product is safe. But, as part of a major class-action lawsuit, a study determined that exposure to vermiculite with less than 1 percent asbestos is still a potential health hazard and the product should be considered an ACM.
What to do if you have vermiculite in your home
Contact an insulation contractor. In Ottawa
, where I live, an insulation contractor’s first step is having the insulation tested for asbestos. The vast majority of tests come back having less than 1 percent asbestos. That means no asbestos abatement contractors get involved, and removal of the vermiculite insulation is done with essentially a giant vacuum. The risk of airborne particles in this method is high. And according to the Zonolite Attic Insulation Trust (see “The good news” below), the presence of vermiculite is tantamount to the presence of asbestos. For this reason, I recommend having this work done by asbestos abatement professionals regardless of the test results.

ADAO Applauds the U.S. Senate for Passing of 16th Resolution (S. Res.145) Establishing Annual “National Asbestos Awareness Week” April 1-7, 2021
As 30 Percent More Asbestos Was Imported Into The United States In 2020, Education, Awareness And Regulation Of Asbestos Remains A Public Health Priority
Washington DC, — The Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO), an independent non-profit dedicated to preventing asbestos exposure, today praised the Senate for passing the 16th Resolution, (S. Res. 145), establishing April 1 – 7 as “National Asbestos Awareness Week,” while warning of the dangers of increased imports and use of the deadly carcinogen.
“The United States imported nearly 30 percent more asbestos in 2020 than in the prior year,” said Linda Reinstein, mesothelioma widow and ADAO co-founder of the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization. “With this continuation of use and an increase in imports, awareness of the dangers of asbestos, and an eventual ban on imports and use, are more important than ever. Unlike the more than 70 countries that have banned asbestos, Americans remain at risk of asbestos exposure every day from a variety of places including our schools, homes, workplaces, and from unsuspecting products on consumer shelves like toys and cosmetics.”
It is a known fact that asbestos kills. For over a century, research has shown that there is no safe level of exposure to asbestos.
“We are grateful to Congress for passing this resolution and once again putting the dangers of asbestos exposure on the national radar, but we must do more,” said Reinstein. ADAO has advocated for a ban on asbestos and for critical regulatory oversight including increased industry reporting, a study of legacy asbestos and greater controls on consumer-facing products. Both Congress and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have a critical role to play to protect the public from asbestos.
ADAO is grateful for the unwavering support for yesterday’s bipartisan resolution led by Senator Jon Tester (D-MT), and cosponsored Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Steve Daines (R-MT), Tom Carper (D-DE), and Dick Durbin (D-IL).
ADAO has hosted “Global Asbestos Awareness Week” from April 1-7 every year since 2005. From 2005-2020, the United States has paid $16,309,323 to import 16,497 metric tons of asbestos into the country. Nearly 40,000 people die each year from asbestos-caused illnesses, meaning that since 2005, an estimated 600,000 deaths in the United States were caused by asbestos. These deaths are entirely preventable.
