Hidden Danger of Vermiculite Insulation
Vermiculite insulation, popular in homes built before 1990, often contains asbestos fibers that pose serious health risks when disturbed. This lightweight, pebble-like material was widely used in attics and walls, but much of it came from a contaminated mine in Libby, Montana. Professional testing and removal is essential if you suspect your home contains vermiculite, as improper handling can release harmful asbestos fibers into your living environment.
