Originally posted by @Andrew Stephens:IKEA cabinets are RTA Yes, but they're made of particle board unlike some of the ones discussed like Fabuwood and even the cheapies I posted pics of above.  

Too bad it causes cancer when the particles are inhaled.In a fire, all of the asbestos particles are released as a very fine dust which, when inhaled, can cause about a dozen different types of lung cancers and mesothelioma.  

Particles may come lose and clog your mixing valves and aerators.  

The recent testing told us there are too many undissolved particles for chemicals to help.

The tenants had to vacate and take every candle/aerosol/flammable item with them. 

As the gas flows, theoretically tiny particles will drop out of the flow and fall into the trap rather than clog fittings in the heater.My top tip: If the water heater goes on a raised platform in a closet in the garage, back your pickup right up to the closet.

The law of course covers even the most slight particle of lead dust found, but in reality the law was intended to going after properties with these huge chunks of paint pealing from the ceiling and window trim that looks like someone spreaded stripper over it and 3 2-year-olds crawling around.

They couldn't go in those areas due to airborne lead particles.

There is a good chance that 1940's flooring has asbestos in it and what you are doing will release dangerous particles.

If you are replacing cabinets/vanities, wood outlasts particle board.
