Some of the differences


Above- Asbestos cement sheeting - eaves lining. No stucco....they don't even really use that here.


Above - asbestos concrete sheets hiding some piping.

Alright so there are a wide variety or differences in the asbestos containing materials that are sampled in Australia as compared to what we do in California. Here are some of the differences I've noticed so far.

California Australia
Drywall & J.C. -sampled Drywall ( they call it gyp rock) - not sampled, no ACM
Popcorn ceiling - high ACM Vermiculite (popcorn ceiling) - sampled but never is ACM
Fiberous concrete board - huh? Fiberous concrete board - a lot of ACM here


The fiberous concrete board is called a lot of time over here A/C sheeting. (Asbestos concrete sheeting). I had never even really seen it in the U.S. but it is EVERYWHERE over here. They use it for wall partitions, eaves lining, ceiling lining, roofing......everything. Here are a few pictures
