Recommended Management Practices for Removing Hazardous Building Components Prior to Demolition

Project Description:  UF researchers previously developed a document entitled "Recommended Management Practices for Removing Hazardous Building Components Prior to Demolition." The document has been proven very popular and is now undergoing a second revision (under funding from the Florida Center of Solid and Hazardous Waste Management).  The new guide will add information on asbestos and treated wood, and will update issues regarding lead-based paint debris.
