Vermiculite attic insulation — primarily sold as Zonolite — was installed in millions of homes through the 1990s. An estimated 70% came from an asbestos-contaminated mine in Libby, Montana. If your Sterling Heights home has vermiculite in the attic, it should be treated as containing asbestos until proven otherwise.
