"UTICA, N.Y. -- A federal jury in Utica has found Certified Environmental Services, Inc., two of its managers and one of its employees guilty of falsifying lab reports to make it appear as if asbestos had been removed from homes, schools, and other buildings when, in fact, asbestos remained in the buildings.

The convictions were obtained on counts of conspiring to aid and abet Clean Air Act violations, commit mail fraud, and defraud the United States, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Justice Department."
