re: Asbestos Popcorn ceiling abatement

My house was built in the 1970s and had popcorn ceilings. I have no idea if they contained asbestos or not but I just wet it down good then scraped it off. Refinished and they look good now.

Am I gonna die? Even if it did contain asbestos, is that small amount really going to hurt me? It’s not like I was exposed to it for years.

when we did our remodel, we had 3 untouched rooms. i had popcorn everywhere and the remodel took care of 90% of those.

we were going to replace the carpet in those rooms before we moved back in. since i didn't have to worry about protecting anything and the carpet was leaving anyways, i just wore glasses and a faceguard and scraped away. then i just pulled up the carpet and rolled it myself.

100% had asbestos and i'm still alive a year later.
