A member asked:
My house was built in 1957 and has the white ceiling tiles that i fear may contain asbestos, anything i can do to stay healthy?

Leave them alone: asbestos building materials are not a risk to health as long as they are intact and not disturbed. It is reasonable to assume that acoustic tiles from the 1950's contain asbestos. When you are ready to remove them you should contact a professional company that does asbestos remediation.
