Idaho Asbestos Mines
Idaho's asbestos mines have been closed for several decades. Miners were particularly susceptible to injury and illness from breathing asbestos. The air in the asbestos mine was full of airborne fibers and there was almost no ventilation. Miners were often exposed to asbestos and many suffer from asbestosis or Mesothelioma, two asbestos-related illnesses.

Asbestos Laws and Regulations in Idaho

Idaho is one of the few states that do not have any laws regarding asbestos. The Environmental Protection Agency took over asbestos inspection in Idaho in 1997. The EPA follows the guidelines set out in the Federal Clean Air Act. The EPA certifies and contracts with companies to perform asbestos inspections and removal in older buildings. The demolition of older homes and buildings has to have specific safeguards in place to prevent asbestos fibers from becoming airborne.
