When did they stop using asbestos in buildings? Quick Answer. The first asbestos ban in the United States occurred in 1977 but was limited to very specific uses of the substance. In 1989, the federal government banned virtually all use and manufacture of asbestos in the country, including its use in building materials.
The harmful effects of asbestos were beginning to be acknowledged and the introduction of asphalt based roofing products began dominating in the late 1950s. Finally, in 1989, asbestos became illegal when The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued an Asbestos Ban and Phase Out Rule. This came on the heels of the ban that began in 1985 in the United Kingdom.
