My husband and I bought a house built in 1908 and have been doing some minor work on it. The house had "popcorn" ceiling in one of the rooms, that we naively removed two weeks ago. Since finishing the project, we've been advised that most of that old popcorn ceiling contained asbestos. We did put up plastic, wet the ceiling down to remove the popcorn texture and did a thorough clean-up with wet towels and a shop vac afterwards, but in no way did we take the proper precautions against asbestos. Now we're worried we released the fibers all over the house.
What should we do next? How can we deal with the fibers that may still be in our home? What is the likelihood we will develop lung problems from this exposure?
