Edwin is completely correct.

In New Jersey, an entire Subchapter of the Uniform Construction Code is
dedicated to Asbestos removal (Subchapter 8). It only deals with the type of
Asbestos that can harm you, that which is called "friable" and capable of
being airborne and inhaled. This is normally found as a soft substance
surrounding steam pipes and the like.

Asbestos floor tiles are completely safe and inert (as are most forms of
Asbestos).

However, if you do have an Asbestos project to do in New Jersey, dig deep,
it's very expensive and controlled.

Abate the asbestos professionally. You're playing with your life, and
it's not a quick, pleasant death at the end. Seriously.

Before you spread dire predictions of death and doom, do some research and
find out what asbestos can and cannot do, how it can be easily and safely
abated.
