Chrysotile fibers under PCM
LCS Laboratory Inc, analyzes several samples of “popcorn” ceiling every day. We know that unfortunately, there is a high chance of finding asbestos in many of these samples. If the paint was manufactured before 1981, it is likely to contain asbestos.
If you want to our laboratory to verify your sample, please follow this simple procedure:
- Scrape some paint from 1 sq. inch of ceiling and place the sample into a clean Ziploc bag. We need about 1/4 of teaspoon of paint dust
- Label the bag (i.e. “kitchen ceiling”)
Download and complete a request form.- Put your sample(s) and a request form into a padded envelope and send it to our lab in London, Ontario.
When we receive your sample, we send an electronic invoice to your email. You can pay the invoice online with a credit card or by PayPal. Once the order is paid, we test the sample and send you a formal report by email. To learn about the cost of testing, what to test, and how many samples should be tested, please visit our “asbestos testing” page.
If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to email us.
