Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Asbestos is a common substance used in building materials like pipe insulation, vinyl ceiling tiles, and floor tiles. It has been linked to respiratory problems and cancer, and its use has been largely phased out. Formaldehyde, chloroform, and carbon monoxide are not typically found in these materials.
