St. Louis (KSDK) -The St. Louis City Health Department has released information about asbestos tests following last week's steam line break.

Crews were out cleaning Sunday around 11th Street and Convention in downtown St. Louis.

The department says two of the samples came back Monday night positive for some amount of asbestos.

Those samples were taken near the Lucas Apartments and the Globe Democrat building.

Health officials say residents don't have to evacuate, but they should stay clear of cleaning crews who will be working throughout the night.
