Newark's history also means many commercial buildings, schools, and older structures contain substantial asbestos materials requiring professional abatement.

• Popcorn ceilings (textured acoustic ceilings from 1950s-1980s)
• 9x9 inch vinyl floor tiles (especially in kitchens, bathrooms, and basements)
