What types of hazardous materials are typically assessed in a survey?

Hazardous material surveys usually check for things that can hurt people or the environment if they're messed with. This often includes stuff like asbestos, lead paint, mould, leftover chemicals, refrigerants, and sometimes even dirty dust. What exactly is checked depends on how old the property is and what it was used for. Surveyors check what's there and if it's risky. Some things are only dangerous if they're broken or moved, so they also check the condition of the materials.
