Many products produced years ago, including acoustic tile, contained
asbestos fibers. I've seen some construction projects where asbestos
was discovered during the demolition and/or remodeling phases, resulting
in delays and costly removal of the asbestos-bearing material(s).

It would be good to treat the existing ceiling as if it did contain
asbestos because old acoustic fiber products tend to deteriorate over
time and release microscopic fibers when they are disturbed. Perhaps
there is a method of sealing the existing tiles prior to doing the
new work.
