In the heart of Central Finland, detached and terraced houses have been built at a steady pace across the decades, so taking the sample yourself is the handiest and most affordable way for many residents of the lake city to be sure.

Sampling points in a Jyväskylä property
The housing stock of Jyväskylä grew strongly during the 1960s-1980s, and in the prefabricated blocks of Kuokkala and the other suburbs asbestos most typically appears in the adhesive under floor tiles, in the substrate of vinyl flooring and in bathroom waterproofing membranes. In the older properties of the university campus and the city centre, pipe insulation and wall fillers are more common.
Soft and hard materials
From vinyl flooring or a vinyl tile a small strip is enough, cut with a knife so that the underlying adhesive comes with it. From a hard filler or tile adhesive the piece is detached with a chisel. In both cases the essential thing is that the sample represents the full layer thickness and not just the surface.
