Default Asbestos tiles in closet

closet or should it be some how sealedÂ* could I use adhesive carpet

How do you plan to lay the new floor over them? Adhesive? Nails? Using
nails will break the asbestos tiles and cause airborne particles. Not
something I'd do. Adhesive will be on top of the asbestos tiles and have
to rely on the integrity of those tiles which in time, could start to
loosen. I'd choose to remove the tiles and be done with any potential
problems. If it's a large area, you could hire a professional.
Otherwise, I'd wet the entire area and remove it myself using protective
gear, of course.
