Asbestos in drywall

Are there any areas in BR that it is know that the walls contain asbestos? I'm mainly curious about the Sherwood Forest area. Can anybody learn me something on this subject?
ETA: wherever the hell it is, clearly by drywall. The house was built either late 60s or early 70s

Never heard of this.
Heard of asbestos siding.
ETA: if their insurer is anybody but State Farm,, you're in the clear.

It is sometimes in the popcorn texture, but I have never heard of it in drywall

They use to use asbestos in the "mud"

Typically any structure built after early 80's is asbestos free. If built before early 80's you can have it tested by local company for like $100.

frick that. Keep the wife and kids away and rip it out. It's all wet anyway, so that'll contain it.
Never heard of it being in drywall though

Holy crap--I can finally put my abundance of previously useless info to use here. (I was an asbestos worker trainer in my previous work life.)
Short answer--even "new" drywall could have asbestos if it was imported from more third world countries that don't have regulations on asbestos in construction materials. More commonly though, the mud will contain the asbestos, but typical only at about 1-2%. Keep it wet with amended (soapy) water. There are no federal waste disposal requirements for residential property, though landfills will charge if they are somehow aware there is asbestos present.
If you want to know a whole lot more, Google tetra tech in billings, MT and ask for roger--tell him his former technician Matt referred you
You can also sample a few chunks of the material and have it tested at most any environmental lab for about 30 bucks. Remember, if it's a drywall system make sure to get the mud and tape in your sample
