Asbestos anxiety

[Mosher_88]

Hi all

Apologies in advance for the possibility of a stupid question. I am a relatively new homeowner in the UK, house built 1986.

Over the last couple of years I have been redecorating the house; stripping wallpaper, filling, sanding and painting the walls, as you do.

Naively, I used to not wear a mask when sanding filler (and plaster walls as some were very uneven), but I do wear a mask now. Due to my anxiety, I have recently started worrying that I could have exposed myself to asbestos at some point. Can anyone advise if the walls could contain asbestos. Throughout the property, the walls are skimmed with the "pink/brown" plaster.

Thanks in advace.

Normal pink / brown plaster does not contain asbestos.
That said the dust is not good for you so wearing a, mask is the way to go.
It's the same for any fine dust be it brick, sawdust or even talcum powder {like my mum smothered me in as a baby!)
Don't worry you haven't condemned yourself and family, we have all done it and are still here to tell the tale.
