The application you are referring to used staples instead of mastic "pucs" to hold the tiles up, we sometimes find asbestos in the mastic pucs but very rarely in the tiles. Never the less you need to have it analyzed at a NVLAP certified lab in your area to make sure.<br> <br> You may contact me at the following site if you have any additional questions:<br> <br> http://www.en3g.com/asbestos<br> or<br> www.twitter.com/mold_expert I would say 1'x1' acoustical ceiling tile from 1967 has a very slight chance of the ceiling tile itself containing asbestos.

Most 12x12s were paper/fiberglass/gypsum based. If they are asbestos, you may think about removing them (a professional contractor) because even undisturbed there is a very small amount being released, but the biggest reason is that balls, arrows, and trucks are going to be bounced off that ceiling. Kids will be kids. Im a home, it is not likely to be asbestos, but the ONLY way to know is to take a piece of the material (cross section with both sides showing) to a local lab and have it veteran.

If its intact its fine. If you choose to remove it wear a mask and gloves. The harmful part is when it turns to dust and is airborne.
