White House advisers, including first daughter Ivanka Trump, senior adviser Kellyanne Conway, and policy aide Stephen Miller, have had to temporarily move out of their White House offices during renovations as a "precautionary measure."
The ceiling and attic on the second floor of the West Wing could contain asbestos, as Bloomberg first reported Wednesday.
Asbestos is a fibrous, mineral-based building material that is toxic to humans when inhaled. It is linked to lung cancer. Here's what you need to know.
Several of the most high-profile offices at the White House are empty, after $250,000 renovations underway at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue sparked fears that asbestos dust could be floating through the Trump administration's breathing air.

Donald Trumps environmental policies may have caused controversy in the US but the presidents stance has managed to get him a literal stamp of approval from a Russian mining company.
Uralasbest, one of the worlds largest producers and sellers of asbestos, has taken to adorning pallets of its product with a seal of Trumps face, along with the words Approved by Donald Trump, 45th president of the United States.
The move follows the US Environmental Protection Agencys recent decision not to ban new asbestos products outright. The EPA said it would evaluate new uses of asbestos but environmental groups have criticized the agency for not going further by barring them on public health grounds.
In a Facebook post, Uralasbest published pictures of its Trump-adorned chrysotile asbestos, writing: Donald is on our side! The post thanks Trump for supporting Scott Pruitt, the recently departed head of the EPA, who declared that his agency would no longer deal with matters related to side effects potentially caused by asbestos. It adds that Trump called asbestos 100% safe after application.
