Completely horid green carpet with no fibers and very thin.

They wasted their money testing something which most likely would have a little asbestos.Just because something is made of asbestos doesn't mean you have to remove it, particularly if it's still intact, like a vent that blows outward.According to the inspector, all these things have a fraction of a fraction of a percent of releasing an asbestos fiber and somehow getting into the interior of the house.After looking at the report, tenants freaked out, and do not feel safe living in the house.

The danger is when the microscopic fibers get airborne and you breath them in.

Carbon fiber matting is very expensive.
