HVAC Equipment
Commercial and industrial HVAC equipment produced before the mid-1970s frequently incorporated asbestos insulation in furnace fireboxes, ductwork insulation wrap, boiler jackets, and internal gaskets.

Maintenance workers, sheet metal workers, and HVAC technicians who serviced this equipment — particularly during overhaul of older units — risked significant asbestos fiber exposure.
