Vermiculite can be found in attics and walls. It was used as an insulation. It often looks like wood chips and gold flakes mixed together. When left untouched, it is perfectly safe. When disturbed, it releases asbestos fibers into the air, causing a high risk health concern to you, your coworkers, and/or your family.
Ceiling tiles can contain asbestos. Can you tell if it is asbestos containing just by looking at it? ABSOLUTELY NOT. The only way to know for certain is to have the material testing by a professional lab.
VCT/Vinyl composite tile often contains asbestos. It is what is called a non-friable material and therefore, a lower risk. This product however is very commonly used in houses all over. No size or colour can determine visually if it is asbestos containing. It's best to not touch it and have it tested if you are thinking of removing it.
