Non-asbestos 12-inch square ceiling tile adhered to non-asbestos gypsum-panel substrate with asbestos-containing adhesive daubs. See asbestos ceiling tile here.
In this particular instance, if abatement is necessary, removal of the glue daubs from the drywall ceiling substrate would likely be "easier" than if the adhesive were applied to plaster or concrete material due to the fact that the paper surface typically just peels away when removing the daubs while they remain intact. Although this process would leave a tattered, unattractive surface all over the drywall.
Plaster, concrete, or other hard substrate surface frequently involves manual chipping, obviously causing damage to both the brittle asbestos adhesive and substrate and requiring construction of a proper enclosure to assist prevention of potential contamination issues.
Oftentimes, if the entire ceiling system is to be removed and the asbestos glue pods may be impacted by the destructive removal process, an enclosure is constructed with plastic sheeting and HEPA air machines to contain the work area and should be conducted by properly trained and licensed asbestos abatement workers.
These deep water creatures live in colonies of burrows on soft muddy substrates. There are tracks linking the burrows and some are co-habited by Frys Goby. Redundant holes make homes for long-armed squat lobsters and angular crabs( Gonoplex r). I eat creel caught langoustine/Dublin bay prawn/scampi or whatever you want to call them after seeing the devastation of their habitat by Norwegian trawlers in Loch Fyne . The prawn beds of Loch Fyne are still recovering years later.

Substrate: polystyrene base w/acrylic concrete and mesh layers. Tesserae: yellow ceramic tile, metallic-backed glass tiles (Karma), crystal glass tiles, stained glass, glass gems, orange mirror, yellow waterglass, vitreous, millefiore, cabochons, and glass beads.
Wall substrate showing ACME gypsum blocks and associated mortar joints, formerly behind wall finishing. This particular construction material appears as a beige-to-tan colored, chalky matrix with wood-fiber and was made by the Acme Cement Plaster Company. Indentations in the block were apparently for increasing surface area for improved adhesion of finish materials, such as layered plasters, mortars, adhesives, etc.
First snow of the year.
For the past few years I've been trying to puzzle out the best way to capture particular features of snow & ice; In reflection and transmission, with various polarization states, differing angles of incidence, and at specific wavelengths. I experimented with dozens of substrates both specular and diffuse and with differing index of refraction, attempting to lure out interference effects and other multi-surface reflection phenomena. I constructed elaborate optical systems to quickly capture these fleeting crystals in whatever form they fell. And every offseason I would ponder new technical stratagems to meet the next winter's arrival. I admit that I did try and make them pretty too. But I fear the scientist in me always overruled the artist, I was able to get what I was after but not necessarily was I wanted.
This last summer I added nothing to my arsenals feeling I had kicked all the tires and that I have ridden this fascination to the end of the road.
A few days ago snow was forecast, and it was to be very cold. Usually, around here December brings the warm wet stuff, a pain in the back to shovel, and a pain in the ass to photograph... It was just enough to entice me out. I was lazy about it though. I set up shop in the greenhouse where I would be separated enough from the elements to make it bearable, but still be cold enough where the subjects wouldn't melt during their closeup.
Having not really prepared anything beforehand I used what was at hand. For this picture I used the tip of a dried out fern to hold this dendrite. The epiphany wasn't immediate, it took a few shots before I realized I was instinctively doing what I was longing to do all along, extract the beauty out.

Small area of 9-inch square asbestos floor tile with wear damage; the tile and associated mastic material have been worn through to the concrete substrate below. Where did the asbestos go?
Inhabits coastal waters over corals and rocky substrates . Usually hides beneath ledges and small caves during the day . Small juveniles have only two white stripes, dividing with growth into numerous lines. The lines break-up into dashes and spots when adult . Feeds on fishes. Has toxin-producing glands in the dermis which is extremely bitter to the taste. (Encyclopedia of Life) Nuweiba, South Sinaï, Egypt
After the Rain, Summer Morning, Rocky Mountain Front Range, Colorado. There are about 17,000 known species of lichens worldwide. They are comprised of fungi (mostly 16 orders of ascomycetes). Bryophytes from algae or cyanobacteria, living among filaments of multiple fungi - living in a symbiotic relationship. They can survive long, dry periods and can resist high and low temperatures.
Types of Lichen Structures:
Squamalose - flat leaf-like, scales
Foliose - flakes on surface, like peeling paint
Crustose - powder-like, leprose
Example of vintage asbestos 9" x 9" floor tile with asbestos-containing black mastic on concrete cement floor substrate.
This image shows an area of bare concrete floor whereby the floor tile has been absent for some amount of time; in side-by-side comparison with an adjacent area where the floor tile was loose and subsequently removed, exposing the asbestos mastic below.
The bare, exposed concrete section was formerly coated with asbestos mastic like the area next to it , but the asbestos mastic has apparently been slowly abraded and worn away by countless scrapes from metal-legged stools and chairs (and foot-traffic?) over time near an adjacent countertop station.
Where did the asbestos go?
Someone abandoned their motorhome along Interstate 10 in Riverside County. It's become a substrate for street art. This originally had tires and an engine but they're now gone. Even the disc brakes have been picked off of the chassis. Ten years ago, this never happened. Now, it has become common.
My understanding is that towing companies often don't want to touch these vehicles. I think abandoned vehicles, when towed, rack up storage charges. The owner may claim the vehicle and pay towing and storage charges. If the owner does not claim it and vehicle were saleable, the towing company can sell the towed car after acquiring title. If you tow a recent model car and this occurs, it works out well for the tow company. They can't sell these motorhomes because they're garbage. I expect the state, county, or city government would have to pay for disposal. It's parked on a public roadway and no one else would.
...A whole lot of risks — the risks of layoff, the risks of job-stopping illness — lots of risks that we were previously helped to bear by business and government have been shifted to our backs and the backs of our families. I don't think that Americans realize the extent to which that shift has occurred.

La Concha, San Sebastián, Guipúzcoa, España.
La playa de la Concha es una playa situada en la bahÃa de la Concha de la ciudad de San Sebastián (España).
Ubicada al oeste de la desembocadura del rÃo Urumea, separada del mismo por el monte Urgull y el centro de la ciudad y alojada en la bahÃa de la Concha, tiene una longitud media de 1 350 m, una anchura media de 40 m y una superficie media de 54 000 m².
Es una playa de sustrato arenoso y poca profundidad, en la que el recorrido de las mareas a menudo limita la superficie útil para el uso. Puede considerarse una playa de entorno urbano y uso masivo. Además, desde 2007, es uno de los 12 Tesoros de España.
La Concha beach is a beach located in the bay of La Concha in the city of San Sebastián (Spain).
Located west of the mouth of the Urumea River, separated from it by Mount Urgull and the center of the city and housed in the Bay of Concha, has an average length of 1 350 m, an average width of 40 m and an average area 54,000 m².
It is a beach of sandy substrate and shallow depth, in which the route of the tides often limits the area useful for use. It can be considered a beach of urban environment and massive use. In addition, since 2007, it is one of the 12 Treasures of Spain.
