Reply to comment by falderol in New painter questions about old paint on walls, unpainted popcorn ceilings and primer! by thatoneguyovertheres

Because it's not necessary? If you are gonna make it your job to remove popcorn ceilings, that's one thing. If you are removing a single one, you're fine no matter how asbestosey it is.

I dont think that is true. If you are mobilizing asbestos there are (maybe) laws about doing it. I think I have heard that if you find asbestos anywhere, you are required to use approved contractors to control and remove it. They use plastic doors and negative pressure enclosures to keep the fibers from contaminating the neighbors. The stuff kills people...eventually.
