The Asbestos program for the State of Kansas is located in the Bureau of Air and Radiation, Radiation and Asbestos Control Section. Kansas Asbestos Control statutes and regulations along with KDHE’s authorizations to implement the federal environmental Protections Agency (EPA) National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for asbestos form the basis of protection from asbestos during removal of asbestos containing materials.

If you are going to be conducting demolition or a controlled burn of a property which has been inspected and determined to contain asbestos containing building materials, below is the KDHE Demo Form
The visible appearance of fungal growth (mould) across surfaces of building materials and/or contents is an indication of a moisture source. It is not uncommon for certain fungi to proliferate in environments with elevated relative humidity.
Moisture can impact nearly any structure. Often, it can occur due to roof leaks, deteriorated windows, inadequate exterior drainage, water losses from plumbing, elevated relative humidity, etc. It does not have to be in liquid form to negatively impact a building.
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that has been mined, processed, and utilized in the fabrication of a variety of building materials. Through our comprehensive inspection and sample collection process, asbestos containing materials can be identified.
In many situations, conditions present on the Exterior Insulation Finish System (EIFS), Manufactured Stone Veneer (AMV), Hard Coat Stucco, Composite Siding, etc. can promote moisture intrusion.
