While the federal laws are generally uniform nationwide the state asbestos laws differ by state. These laws often limit claims from those who have suffered from exposure to asbestos.
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral. It is extracted from ground usually using open-pit mining methods. It is made up of fibrous strands. These strands then are processed and mixed with an adhesive agent like cement to produce an asbestos-containing material, also known as ACM. These ACMs are used in a variety of applications, such as floor tiles, shingles roofing, and clutch facings. In addition to its use for construction materials, asbestos can be found in a number of other products, including batteries as well as gaskets, clothing that is fireproof and gaskets.

The transportation and disposal of asbestos-containing materials is also regulated by the state.
The Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations 1987 introduced statutory procedures to prevent workers from being exposed to asbestos in the workplace.

The regulations require the contractor to notify the enforcing authority about any work involving asbestos and submit a risk assessment for each asbestos removal project. They must also set up a decontamination zone and provide employees with protective clothing.
After the work has been completed an accredited inspector must inspect the area and verify that there are no asbestos fibers escaping into the air. The inspector must also make sure that the sealant is "locking down" any asbestos. After the inspection, a sample of air is required. If it is found that the asbestos concentration is higher than the minimum level, the area will need to be cleaned again.
New Jersey regulates the transport and disposal of asbestos and the Department of Environmental Protection monitors it. Before starting work, any company planning to dispose of asbestos-containing materials is required to obtain a permit from the New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection.

The permit should include an explanation of the place where asbestos will be disposed of, and how it will be transported and stored.
Abatement

Some states have specific laws concerning asbestos elimination. New York, for instance prohibits the construction and use of asbestos-containing structures. The law also requires that asbestos-related abatement be done by qualified contractors. Contractors who work on asbestos-related buildings must obtain permits and notify the state.
Workers in asbestos-containing buildings should undergo special training. The EPA requires that anyone who plans to work in the construction site with asbestos-containing materials (ACM) notify the EPA at minimum 90 days prior the start of the project. The EPA will then examine the project and may limit or prohibit the use of asbestos.
Asbestos can be found in floor tiles roof shingles, roofing as well as exterior siding, cement, and automotive brakes. These products can release fibers once the ACM has been agitated or removed. The risk of inhalation is because the fibers are too small to be seen by the naked eye. ACM that is not friable, like encapsulated floor coverings and drywall, cannot release fibers.
In order to perform abatement works on a building, licensed contractors must get a permit from the Iowa Division of Labor. The contractor must also inform Iowa OSHA and the Department of Natural Resources. The contractor must pay a fee for the annual and initial notifications.
