Overview:
The Illinois EPA Asbestos Unit is dedicated to protect the people of
the State of Illinois and the environment from asbestos exposure. Illinois
EPA is delegated authority by the USEPA to enforce the National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). NESHAP regulates asbestos
during demolition, renovation and disposal.
Certain parts of the Illinois Environmental Protection Act also regulate
asbestos.
