There are some steps to take to carefully collect a sample of the material that may be asbestos. A PS disposable dust mask must be worn. If asbestos enters the lungs it will cause cancer. This mask can be purchased at a hardware store. The material needs to be moistened so that dust will not fly around. This will not affect the test results. Hand tools are used to collect a sample. The sample of the material should be between 5 and 100 grams in size. The sample can be placed in a click lock plastic bag. It is recommended to double bag the sample. The area where the sample was collected from should be painted over. This will keep it sealed for the time being.
