Notes:
- 20% of all Commercial Buildings estimated to contain friable asbestos.
- 10% to 20% of all steel underground tanks estimated to be leaking.
- Steel underground tanks are still being installed and do not present a hazard if
they have cathodic protection. Their presence in the above table refers to the old
practice of installing steel tanks without this type of protection.
