Has that old vinyl or linoleum flooring been tested for asbestos?

Most (all?) old vinyl or linoleum flooring contains asbestos and as

such it becomes a MAJOR health hazard if it is deteriorating.(falling

apart-) It should always be covered with something else flooring wise

or removed by qualified people using appropriate precautions to

prevent its 'friable' dust being spread into the air.

Every environmental consultant should know this.

I am surprised that this possibility was not mentioned in the story.

Even if the linoleum does not have asbestos, the glue might. That

needs to be checked also.
