How do you report finding Zonolite in an Attic? What do you recommend?

I let the clients know that it has been know to contain asbestos and it should be tested.

ATTIC INSULATION:
: VERMICULITE/ZONITE: Vermiculite insulation. Some types of vermiculite insulation include asbestos. Only way to confirm asbestos is by lab test. Recommend do not disturb. Recommend EPA website for further information. Asbestos | OPPT | US EPA (http://www.epa.gov/asbestos/)

Also, while it is good that it is somewhat contained in the bags, the bags themselves are potential fire risks (like the paper facing on batt insulation, which should not be left exposed).

I second the D. Banks post. That would be an appropriate response/ notification to the potential buyer.
