Title National Asbestos Awareness Week and the Need for Safer Environments for Workers and Building Occupants
Introduction EMSL Analytical provides comprehensive laboratory testing services, sampling supplies, and PPE to help safeguard people from asbestos and other hazardous materials year-round.

Cinnaminson, New Jersey, April 1, 2026

Asbestos, once widely used in building materials for its durability and fire resistance, remains a serious health hazard when disturbed. Still found in countless buildings, exposure to airborne fibers is linked to diseases such as asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma.

National Asbestos Awareness Week (NAAW), taking place April 1-7, serves as an important reminder of the need for ongoing vigilance, testing, and proper safety protocols. In recognition of NAAW, EMSL Analytical, Inc., a leading provider of environmental, industrial hygiene, and materials testing services, continues to be committed to protecting workers, building occupants, and communities from asbestos exposure. Through its network of accredited laboratories, EMSL offers reliable and timely asbestos testing services for residential, commercial, and industrial environments.

EMSL also provides a full range of sampling supplies and easy-to-use asbestos test kits, making it simple for homeowners, contractors, and facility managers to collect samples. To further reduce risk, EMSL offers a wide selection of personal protective equipment (PPE), including respirators, protective clothing, gloves, and other essential gear for those working around potential asbestos-containing materials (ACMs).

“National Asbestos Awareness Week underscores the importance of education, prevention, and access to reliable resources,” said Joe Frasca, Senior Vice President of Marketing at EMSL Analytical, Inc. “Our mission is to deliver the tools and expertise needed to identify hazards and protect people every day of the year.”

Through its comprehensive services and products, EMSL continues to play a vital role in advancing environmental safety, regulatory compliance, and public health nationwide.
