1.2% ACM in concrete subfoor

[boostin]

In the process of removing carpet tack strip from a concrete subfloor for tile and laminate flooring. I had the subfloor tested for asbestos. The lab result came back positive concrete subloor had 1.2% asbestos. Should I be concerned about this when removing the tack strips? I am not sure the risk involved here. Any input would be great.

You won't have any problems. If you wanted, you could spray a bit of water from a spray bottle to keep the dust down. Hell, I pulled a 5' long asbestos pipe from my attic, carried it to a junk pile, and finally dumped it in a dumpster...after I wrapped it twice with a garbage bag.

You will need to make certain you are aware of asbestos rules and how they impact on you.

Was there 9x9 vct tiles or black glue on the concrete?

Just put some good steel reinforcing mesh to make it lasts longer.
